A look over the past 18 years
That's all she wrote, folks.
This is the last issue of Gulf Shipper. Subscribers will hereafter receive The Journal of Commerce, whose veteran editorial staff guarantee that the shipping and logistics industry in the Gulf will be covered with the same editorial integrity you have come to expect from Gulf Shipper writers.
For this last issue, we wanted to recount some of Gulf Shipper's 19-year history. The little magazine that was started by the two sons of the founders of Florida Shipper quickly became the Gulf transportation community's own magazine and has remained faithful to that cause ever since. We asked Gulf Shipper co-founder Glenn Higgins to write about his recollections of the early years, and JoC writers Janet Plume and Janet Nodar have attempted to fill in the rest.
