Salvatore (Sal) Mercogliano: What’s Going on With Shipping, YouTube Show Review | Turn the Lens Ep41

Salvatore (Sal) Mercogliano (Sal), has a Ph.D. in Military and Naval History from the University of Alabama. He served in the Merchant Marine, has been an Adjunct Professor of History/Engineering at the US Merchant Marine Academy for over 17 years, and Chairs the Department of History, Criminal Justice, and Political Science for Campbell University for over 14 years.

So when something happens with ships, shipping, the US Navy or other major maritime news around the world, I go to Sal to find out what's really going on.

Welcome to the first in a series of YouTube Show reviews that I hope can shed more light on some of the amazing information sources that operate as independents. These experts bring a wealth of knowledge and experience, a network of trusted colleagues, information on the open source data and applications, with knowledge on how to best use them to draw out the relevant information around a specific incident. 

When you want to get beyond the sound bite, and have a knowledgeable expert walk you through the details, known and unknown, answers and questions, you get a much better picture of what's happening in the world around us. Watch a few, with different sources, and one can begin to triangulate consistencies and patterns.

So we kick off the series with Sal Mercogliano, maritime historian, former merchant mariner, and the expert behind the YouTube channel 'What's Going on With Shipping'

Sal's channel 'blew up' with his coverage of the Motor Vessel EVER GIVEN gumming up the Suez Canal, and temporarily halting all global shipping through this most important passage. You'll be amazed at the number of new things happening in and around the oceans impacting us almost every day.
