   The Maritime Association founded the hall of fame in 1993 to recognize maritime visionaries, who through excellence in their company, organization, or services, best exemplify the qualities of futuristic thinking that will guide the maritime and transportation industry in the 21st century.
   The five men will be honored May 12 at the Grand Hyatt in New York, instead of at the usual venue, the United Nations, because of renovation work there.
