When Maritime Partners CEO and co-founder Bick Brooks' parents, Ned and Louise, and brother, Avery, traveled from the Northeast to New Orleans at the beginning of May, they thought it was merely a long-awaited post-COVID vaccines trip to see one another and enjoy some seasonal south Louisiana delicacies, namely boiled crawfish and charbroiled oysters.And so it came as a huge surprise to Brooks' whole family when he announced that one of the reasons he'd invited them to town for that particular weekend was to christen Maritime Partners' newest towboat, the mv. Ned Brooks, which is named for Brooks' father."He didn't know about it 'til yesterday," Brooks said the morning of May 1, standing with his family alongside the moored mv. Ned Brooks. "He had a big smile across his face. It's very exciting for them, and it's a great way to honor my parents." |
