Quite possibly the most awesome study-away semester program ever. Involves going down to Connecticut, living in houses of 4-6 people from various liberal arts colleges, where you cook for yourself, across from a museum with three tall ships and several hundred smaller ones. Also involves a 10-day trip on a 133-foot tall ship, a week-long trip to California or Washington, and a 4-day trip to Louisiana or the Chesapeake Bay. The entire program has 20 (+/- 2) students with five professors:
*[[Jim Carlton]] (Marine Ecology)
*[[Glenn Gordonier]] (Maritime History, 1600-present)
*[[Lisa Gilbert]] (Oceanography)
*[[Katy Robinson Hall]] (Marine Policy)
*[[Mary K. Bercaw Edwards]] or [[Dan Brayton]] (Literature of the Sea)
You also get to take skills, including:
*[[Squad]]
*[[Boat handling]]
*[[Boatbuilding]]
*[[Shipsmithing]]
*[[Sea chanteys]]
