Among other things, the legislation provides full funding for the Maritime Security Program fleet of 60 U.S.-flagged ships through the end of the fiscal year. The appropriations package eliminated a potential $20 million cut in funding for the MSP this fiscal year. Legislation originating in the House of Representatives earlier in calendar year 2014 contained the funding cut. However, many supporters of the program and the U.S.-flag fleet worked to ensure the full funding level authorized by law for the program in this fiscal year, $186 million, was included in the appropriations bill. Leading the effort to secure full funding for the MSP were, among others, Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee Hal Rogers (R-KY); Congressman Tom Latham (R-IA), who is now retired; Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD), then- chairwoman of the Senate Committee on Appropriations; and Congressman Ed Pastor (D-AZ), who is now retired. Also provided in the fiscal year 2015 appropriations package is $1.466 billion for Food for Peace Title II, the same amount appropriated in fiscal year 2014. The legislation keeps the Food for Peace Title II funding under the Department of Agriculture. Under current cargo preference requirements, 50 percent of U.S. food-aid shipments must be carried by U.S.-flagged vessels. Separately, the legislation funds the Department of Homeland Security through February, rather than the end of the fiscal year.

  • Boats Built at Toledo, Ohio Including Monroe, Michigan
    Boats Built at Toledo, Ohio Including Monroe, Michigan A Comprehensive Listing of the Vessels Built from Schooners to Steamers from 1810 to the Present Written and Compiled by: Matthew J. Weisman and Paula Shorf National Museum of the Great Lakes 1701 Front Street, Toledo, Ohio 43605 Welcome, The Great Lakes are not only the most important natural resource in the world, they represent thousands of years of history. The lakes have dramatically impacted the social, economic and political history of the North American continent. The National Museum of the Great Lakes tells the incredible story of our Great Lakes through over 300 genuine artifacts, a number of powerful audiovisual displays and 40 hands-on interactive exhibits including the Col. James M. Schoonmaker Museum Ship. The tales told here span hundreds of years, from the fur traders in the 1600s to the Underground Railroad operators in the 1800s, the rum runners in the 1900s, to the sailors on the thousand-footers sailing today. The theme of the Great Lakes as a Powerful Force runs through all of these stories and will create a lifelong interest in all who visit from 5 – 95 years old. Toledo and the surrounding area are full of early American History and great places to visit. The Battle of Fallen Timbers, the War of 1812, Fort Meigs and the early shipbuilding cities of Perrysburg and Maumee promise to please those who have an interest in local history. A visit to the world-class Toledo Art Museum, the fine dining along the river, with brew pubs and the world famous Tony Packo’s restaurant, will make for a great visit.
