In this special throwback to one of our earliest episodes, we honor the women who paved the way in the maritime industry long before Women Offshore was founded. These trailblazers, or "Early Wave Makers," as we call them, have stories that deserve to be told and lessons that continue to inspire us today.

In our earlier episode 5, we feature a unique perspective from Andrew Zimmerman, an accomplished author and contributor to Women Offshore. With a deep respect for maritime history and the women who have worked on the water, Andrew has been a steadfast supporter of our mission since the beginning.

Join us as we revisit Andrew's journey, from earning his Bachelor’s Degree in Marine Transportation to his experiences on commercial vessels worldwide. Discover why a man has been so dedicated to writing for a platform celebrating women in the maritime industry. His insights, both as a historian and a mariner, offer a compelling look into the legacy of women at sea.

Tune in and get an inside look at the stories that shaped the maritime industry and continue to inspire the next generation of women on the water.

What happens when two power-house women join forces to help others?

Today on The Women Offshore Podcast Christine meets with Erica D’Eramo and Tanya Tarr.
