More than 500 years ago, Christopher Columbus, the first Admiral of the Ocean Sea, discovered America...

The Admiral of the Ocean Sea Award recognizes that the Western hemisphere owes its discovery to great seafarers and to the seafarers who transported the colonists, the privateers who helped win its freedom, and the people and ships that opened the world trade for our commerce. With 78 per cent of the world made up of bodies of water, this event is a continuing affirmation that this country will maintain its historic destiny with the great oceans, the ships that fly its flag, and the seafarers of all nations who serve in freedom.
