Unverified attribution
Wording taken from a viewer's transcription of the video, not from a published transcript — we searched and found none: Cal Maritime's own newsroom carries only a pre-event announcement, which is where the 22 April 2017 date comes from. The words are Rigsby's father's, recounted by Rigsby, so the attribution here is to the speech rather than to either man directly.
