JIM SHAW
Jim Shaw, the magazine’s news and cargo ship correspondent, passed away on 1 May 2024 after a short illness. He has left a series of articles, written to his usual high standards, and these will be published over the coming months, starting with one in this issue on new marine technologies, a subject on which he was an expert.
Jim’s interest in ships began while he was growing up near Humboldt Bay in Northern California, where foreign vessels called in the early 1950s to load lumber for post-war construction projects in Asia and Europe.
