Homecoming 250, the celebration of the US Navy and US Marine Corps' 250th anniversaries  

Mark your calendar for October 9 -16, 2025, to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps in their birthplace - Philadelphia and the Delaware River - as a grand opening event of the Semiquincentennial of the United States. 

In episode 252, George S Leone, the President and Chair of Homecoming 250, presents the entire project, how it came about and what to expect.  

For the Navy 250th, Homecoming 250 plans to assemble for touring ships from both historical and current. For the Marine Corps 250th, Homecoming 250 intends to host the 100th Marine Corps Ball, where the 1st Ball was held, and celebrate at the site of Tun Tavern, the birthplace of the Marines.

You can read about it here: https://www.homecoming250.org/, but you must listen to George first. He is the Mastermind behind the celebration leading up to America's 250th anniversary in 2026.

Thank you for listening!

Hosted by Lena Göthberg, the Shipping Podcast is a direct line into the vast, complex, and surprisingly human world of moving goods across the oceans. While global trade relies on this industry's immense scale and logistical prowess, the real story is found in the people who make it function.
