Happy anniversary
ONE year ago, when we sent the first issue of this newsletter to 1,012 people, we had no idea how it would catch on. Today we celebrate the first birthday of the maritime advocate online, and, thanks to the sponsorship of Ignacio de Ros, almost 13,000 subscribers with an interest in maritime law - and a few who just like the humour - share in our electronic community. Thank you for your support, and the lively feedback we get each week.
