The USNS Henson held a Memorial Service for the SS El Faro on 04 NOV 2015 to mark one month since the sinking of the vessel and loss of her crew on 01 OCT 2015.
Henson was on a transit and took the opportunity to remember her Union Brothers and Sisters during a ceremony held on the bridge.
The Master read the names of the crew and contractors. 33 carnations were then tossed into the ocean while playing the song "Never Let Me Go" by Florence + the Machine.
The ceremony ended with the reading of the Seaman's Prayer.
