摘要：	The El Faro Salute pays tribute to the 33 crewmembers who lost their lives in Hurricane Joaquin on Oct. 1, 2015. "It's a source of comfort for the families," said Maine artist and sculptor Jay "J-Bone" Sawyer, who created the monument dedicated Sept. 24 in Rockland, Maine. "A symbol to increase awareness for the maritime industry, and those that make the sacrifices daily." Prior to the ceremony family and friends gathered in front of the memorial hugging people with familiar faces. Others looked for their loved ones name etched in the flat steel, then rubbed an impression with paper and crayon. Patricia Quammie of Jacksonville, Fla., lost her husband, Theodore Quammie. He was a merchant mariner for 37 years, the El Faro's chief steward, and the oldest person on the ship. "Everyone has my deepest sympathy and condolences," said Quammie. "I pray that we stay united forever, like our 33 precious loved ones who will stay together forever. For those going out on the ships now and their families, if you see something is wrong, don't be afraid to speak up. Don't be afraid to challenge the system. Make sure if you're supposed to have your safety equipment, you know the location, you know where it's at. Make sure you just take all the necessary safety precautions."
