Historical Notes
From 1971 until 1983 William Maron ran a small shipping company called the Maron Shipping Agency Inc. (now defunct) located on the 27th floor, Suite 2767, of the North Tower. Its core business was international freight forwarding. Maron was among the first 20 or so tenants to move into the newly completed World Trade Center in the early 1970s.
