Fatima Stephens

Fatima's passion for maritime life began with childhood visits to her grandfather, a merchant marine from Alexandria, Egypt. After earning her maritime transportation degree, she rapidly advanced to become one of the youngest captains in her shipping company, using her unique position to document the intersection of global shipping routes, vintage culture, and portside entertainment. Her blog 'Captain's Shore Leave' gained popularity when her karaoke performances in international ports went viral, showcasing her ability to connect with local cultures through music while educating followers about both maritime careers and vintage preservation.
