Lynn Korwatch
Lynn Korwatch is the executive director of Marine Exchange of the San Francisco Bay Region. This is a nonprofit membership organization that was established in the year 1849 and is the second oldest organization in California.〔 It is the second oldest corporation in California. Lynn Korwatch joined the California Maritime Academy in 1972, and she was one of the few first class women to join.〔 In 1988, she was the first woman ever to command a United States commercial vessel.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Symposium Speakers )〕 As a general manager at Matson Navigation Company, she held many responsibilities.〔 Some of these responsibilities included managing the operation of fourteen ships that were owned by this company.〔 Another achievement she was responsible for was helping to create the "Zero Garbage Discharge Program".〔 This was helpful in not being able to throw away waste over board that contained any solid materials. This is seen as monumental because it was seen as the first of its kind and was exceeding all of the government regulations at the time.〔
== History of Marine Exchange ==
The Maritime Exchange company was an agency which would announce the arrival of ships to ports in San Francisco. The reason for the upbringing of the company was because of the Gold Rush which began in 1848 and brought a lot of foreign ships to the city.〔 A second reason for the creation of a Maritime Exchange was because San Francisco was surrounded by hills and headlands which isolated it from the ocean. It was important for people to know when the ships were arriving because these ships brought along with them news, mail, and commercial shipments from the East Coast.〔
