![A world without seafarers [VIDEO]](https://gcaptain.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Screen-shot-2011-06-22-at-10.37.21-AM.png)
Ever wonder what the world would be like without seafarers? In a nutshell, it wouldn’t be pretty.
The following video was produced by the Seafarers UK, a charity that helps seafarers, ex-seafarers and their families, and gives us a look at what the world, or at least the UK, would be like if the world’s seafarers just up and vanished.
Commissioned by Seafarers UK for Seafarers Awareness Week (6-12 June), ‘The Vanished’ video is intended to shock viewers into understanding how dependent the UK is on ships and seafarers to supply essential food, fuel and goods.
