Maine Maritime Academy Student Summer Experience Spotlight: Jonah Densmore
From the classroom to the tugboat.
This summer, Maine Maritime Academy student Jonah Densmore is gaining firsthand experience with Vane Brothers, where every day brings new challenges—from working on deck and in the engine room to learning the wheelhouse.
As one of the inaugural... Vane Brothers Fellowship recipients, Jonah says the opportunity has been life-changing, helping make his education possible while preparing him for a career in the maritime industry.
“Doing this stuff definitely adds to what you learn in the classroom… when you come out here and actually do it, you really see what it is.”
We’re proud to partner with Vane Brothers to provide opportunities that connect education with real-world experience and help prepare the next generation of maritime professionals.
