Last week, we had the pleasure of celebrating the grand opening of Nauticus’ new exhibit, “Our Port,” showcasing Virginia’s maritime heritage and the collaborative spirit that makes our port community truly exceptional.
Through this dynamic new experience, visitors can dive into the stories of the men and women who make our industry thrive. We’re especially proud to be part of this narrative through one of our own trailblazers: CROFTON’s first female diver, Aurora Castaneda! (Fun fact: Aurora is now one of two female divers at CROFTON.)
In these photos, you’ll see Aurora standing in front of her featured photograph. Also pictured are Teddi and Kenny Crofton, Roger Belch, Camille Cherry, and Nauticus Executive Director Stephen Kirkland.
If you’re in the area, be sure to checkout this awesome tribute to our inspiring maritime community.
