"Chaps" Baldridge and Kempton D., Jr., join me on the show to discuss their family's rich history on the waters of the United States and across the world. Chaps discusses his time with the military, chaplaincy, a sincere interest and appreciation for the industry we all know and love, and a personal project with which he found himself occupied over Covid. Kempton Jr. shares stories and insights of a life exposed to waterborne commerce and history, his academic exploits, and a budding maritime career on the Great Lakes and offshore in the Gulf of Mexico.
