Military organisations across Brazil came together to commemorate this significant milestone date: the Day of the Sailor, celebrating the birth of Brazil’s naval patron, Admiral Tamandaré
Last month, the Port Captaincy of São Paulo in Santos celebrated the Day of the Sailor, traditionally observed annually on 13 December. Santos, the largest port complex in Latin America, is home to the Society of Friends of the Navy (Soamar) in Brazil, which recently marked its 53rd anniversary. Our partners Carlos Augusto and Ricardo Martins are proud holders of the Friends of the Navy medal.
The ceremony, helmed by the Harbour Master, Commander Marcus Andre, honoured outstanding military personnel and civil contributions. Awards were presented to individuals who demonstrated outstanding service to the Brazilian Navy. Additionally, new Friends of the Navy were recognised for their commitment to naval values and their significant contributions towards achieving the Navy’s goals.
A highlight of the ceremony was the acknowledgement of Proinde as a key partner in fostering maritime education and community engagement. Represented by Carlos Augusto, the company, which celebrated its 50th anniversary last year, sponsored awards to students from a local public school who excelled in essays on the “Blue Amazon”, reflecting the understanding of the vital role this marine expanse plays in Brazil’s conservation efforts and economic development.
As the ceremony drew to a close, a call to action was issued to all sailors—both in uniform and in spirit—to uphold the invaluable legacy of Admiral Tamandaré, reaffirming the ongoing commitment to the core values that define the Brazilian Navy.
