O'Malley in 1939, with the mandate to pro- vide "Timely news condensed for the executive." More than six decades have passed, and while times have surely changed, some things surely have not. The O'Malley name still heads the masthead, and the man- date to provide timely information has expanded to a family of marine information products, lead by Maritime Reporter & Engineering News, but now including: MarineNews; Maritime Security Sourcebook; www.marinelink.com; MaritimeToday @ www.maritimetoday.com; and the annual Global Maritime Directory on CD ROM. In examin- ing our history, the editorial team ran across some other notable events from 1939.
