Happy Mother’s Day from STATE OF MAINE! View a special Mother’s Day photo collection on the Summer Sea Term blog: https://cruise.mainemaritime.edu

#MothersDay #MaineMaritimeAcademy #SummerSeaTerm2026

Yesterday afternoon, STATE OF MAINE officially got underway on the first leg of Summer Sea Term 2026, departing Portland Harbor bound for Galveston, Texas.

The voyage began with a little extra excitement as the anchor came up tangled in a nest of old fishing gear caught in the anchor ...flukes on the harbor bottom. With assistance from the pilot boat, the gear was cleared and the ship safely continued on her way.

Along the shores at Portland Head Light, a large crowd of family, friends, and alumni gathered to wave goodbye and cheer on the voyage as the training ship headed out to sea.

Fair winds and following seas to all aboard as another unforgettable summer of hands-on learning begins. ⚓🌊

A memorable moment along the Cape Cod Canal today as STATE OF MAINE passed Massachusetts Maritime Academy with PATRIOT STATE moored at the campus. ⚓️

Cadets manned the rail as the two sister ships exchanged whistle signals, while families gathered along the canal bank waving signs and ...cheering us on. A special moment between two training ships, carrying on the same mission of preparing the next generation of mariners.

From the moment the lines are cast off, learning is underway.

At Maine Maritime Academy, “hands-on” education means students are at the helm of the new training vessel right from the dock — gaining real-world experience navigating Portland Harbor, heading to anchor for Coast Guard ...drills, and preparing for the journey ahead at sea.

The excitement is building as the crew leaves Portland behind and begins another chapter of learning beyond the classroom. Every evolution aboard is an opportunity to develop the leadership, teamwork, and professional skills that define a mariner.
