This chapter recounts how, in the face of the massive incident of 9/11, the shared purpose and common ties that connect mariners of all types ruled the day as the different agencies cooperated with civilian boat crews. As it turned out, the lack of a plan wound up setting the stage for creative problem solving and improvisation. Throughout that historic morning, the New York harbor community joined forces to carry out an unprecedented and remarkably successful evacuation effort. As the second attack hit, the U.S. Coast Guard shut down the Port of New York and New Jersey to commercial traffic. Other maritime forces, such as the marine fire company, were also kicked into action.

The article discusses the publishing activities of Roy Publishers in New York from 1940 to the 1960s, particularly its impact on popularizing Polish literature and information about Poland in the U.S. The publishing house continued the tradition of the former house, named “Rój”, which was active during 1924-1940 in Warsaw and established by Melchior Wańkowicz, then managed together with Marian Kister. The article is based on the materials from the publishing house archive, now held at Stanford University Libraries, a valuable research source on the émigré cultural heritage of the 2nd Republic of Poland.
