So is this great and wide immortal sea wherein are things innumerable. 

 

 

So, says Holy Scripture, the sea shall give up her dead.

​

​

There go the ships:  there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.

                                                                                                                  - Psalm 104

This maritime industry and finance website is an online guide to Ship Investment Strategy and Pelagic Interests of The Reverend and Captain Mark L. Middleton, the founder and C.E.O. of Perdido Isles Maritime Holdings on behalf of family, friends,  partners, and crews of the United States Research Sailing Vessels Nereus - U.S. flag  Registry 662485, the R/S/V Halcyon, and the R/M/V Nereid. 

​

Can you navigate waves of volatility, shoals of uncertainty, market downdrafts, other risks, and still enjoy profits and cash flow from the sea?  How about laying up even more treasure in Heaven?   Finding Joy and Grace?

​

We shamelessly promote our very real Perdido Isles and many associates, affiliates, clients, and shareholding partners with numerous links. We share experience, values, and opinions  on behalf of "freedom of the seas" and liberty along with "extras."  We maintain links to employment opportunities in maritime industry (and a few others).  We support our businesses and Alphabet brands like SpaceX!  Go Dragon!  Go Falcon 9! Go Starlink! (you know I still love you.) 

 

We strive to educate, inform, perhaps inspire, and entertain.  We honor the memory of ships and crews that are "Perdido" (Lost) along with witness to G-d's "saving faith" on our course  and hope you enjoy links to diverse sources laying about on our pages.   Remember the Dorchester and El Faro. Recuerda el San Juan (ARA  S-42)     Please pray for those on Front Lines of Covid-19 fight.

ABOUT

"Not all who wander are lost."

     We are accredited investors with a high preference for liquidity and scenic views of ocean and waterfront. We actively manage a privately-held, globally-oriented Growth and Income Investment Fund with direct holdings in 33 well-capitalized public corporations and limited partnerships. We sail off-shore by wind power, drive a Prius, and promote solar energy; still, we love our big double-hulled motor propelled PanaMax, SuezMax, AfriMax, and SuperMax vessels.  Fan Base we are!

The Investment Community has been enjoying a Viral Storm from China this year, only discovered when a few courageous Chinese citizens let American colleagues know what was going on in Wuhan.

Our FLEET Shareholdings

Do you know?

In April, 2016, the cost of shipping one 40-foot container from Hong Kong to Los Angeles fell to $623, the lowest rate in five years.

​

In other words, you could have packed your bed, sofa, shelves, dining room table, chest of drawers and all your clothes in a 40-foot container and shipped it across the Pacific Ocean at half the price you'd pay to put it all on a truck and send it from Los Angeles to New York.

Protecting Freedom of the Seas (and skies) does not come without effort.   We Invest heavily in defense and aerospace business segments to keep trade goods flowing.  Our partner firms engage in Aeronautics - research, design, development, manufacture, integration, sustainment, support and upgrade of military aircraft, including combat and air mobility aircraft, unmanned air vehicles and related swarm technologies.  Also included are design, integration, and installation of air missile defense command, control, communications and computation as well as space technologies. Our partner(s) engage in the research, development, design, engineering and production of satellites and space transportation systems.

The Baltic Dry Index (BDI) is a shipping and trade index created by the London-based Baltic Exchange that measures changes in the cost to transport various raw materials. The exchange directly contacts shipping brokers to assess price levels for a given route, product to transport and time to delivery, or speed. The Baltic Dry Index is a composite of three subindices that measure different sizes of dry bulk carriers, or merchant ships: Capesize, Panamax and Supramax.
