A seafarer is someone who is employed to serve aboard any type of marine vessel. These workers are often at sea for months away from their home and families. When ships dock at Port Saint John, the Saint John Seafares’ Mission provides essential services to support seafarers. These services can be as simple as coming into the Mission centre for a hot cup of coffee or a trip to the mall to restock on some essentials before heading back to sea.
