 The Awards are made annually in memory of the late Desmond Wettern, writer on maritime affairs for some thirty years.
The Awards are to commemorate Desmond’s single minded dedication to the belief that the United Kingdom’s wellbeing and security are inextricably bound up with the sea and to encourage publicists and writers to draw attention to this linkage.
Nominations are considered by the Awards Committee who make their recommendation to the Trustees of the Maritime Foundation.
