Captain Stelios Koubias, from the seafaring island of Chios, recounts a story from his 40-year career at sea (1979–2019). This story has stayed with him and took place in 1995 aboard the tanker “MARIA T” of the Tsakos Shipping & Trading S.A. company, under Captain Panagiotis Tsakos. On that ship, he met a sailor battered by life’s hardships, who served as a pumpman – a truly remarkable and incredibly kind-hearted man. Captain Stelios Koubias happened to have read the sailor’s tragic story in the newspapers and eventually had the chance to hear the story from the man himself.
