Retired Capt. Ted Davisson joins me at long last on the show to discuss his maritime career. Introduced to the industry by a Summer job through college, Ted found himself working on passenger vessels for a decade, becoming licensed, and eventually finding opportunity with the NOBRA Pilots Association.
We discuss his career progression as well as one fateful morning aboard the M/V BRIGHTFIELD passing southbound through New Orleans in the mid 90s. We touch briefly also on the recent M/V DALI incident in Baltimore, some additional sea stories from a 50 year career, and a bit about this podcast.
