Chief Engineer Receives Trophy The chief engineer, Charles W. Brown of Marathon Fla., will receive the 2000 American Merchant Marine Seamanship Trophy later this month for his skillful action in helping to bring his severely damaged vessel to safety after a violent Atlantic storm on the night of Feb. 16, 1999.

He remains on the Board of ROCL and continues as a member of its executive committee. Stathopoulos has been involved in the cruise industry for 24 years, having worked for much of his career in sales and marketing.
