The officers and crew of the National Glory were in port working cargo on July 4, but were able to celebrate Independence Day on July 6 with a cookout at sea and a reading of the Declaration of Independence by Second Assistant Engineer Joel Sauer. While the National Glory normally operates in cargo service between Houston and San Juan, the ship made two stops to deliver containerized grains, oats and cooking oil in Port au Prince, Haiti.
