January 2011 marked the seventh aniversary of the Black Chicago Sailors' website. Since our inception, we have had over 9000 visitors, like yourself from all over the U.S. and abroad. It is one of our goals to keep this site current with updated information. Our "Captains" section is updated on an annual basis.
