On May 21, one day before National Maritime Day (May 22), the Maritime College and the Merchant Marine Academy Color Guard jointly presented the colors at the NY Mets baseball game in Citi Field.
The Marine Society of New York was instrumental in organizing the opportunity for cadets from both maritime academies to present the colors at the game as a means of bringing awareness to the industry and the academies. Cadets were invited to watch the entire game as the Mets defeated the Cleveland Guardians 2-1.
