From the classroom to Casco Bay.

When Milo Cook-Sharp ‘23 arrived at Maine Maritime Academy, she thought her future would be aboard research vessels. Through hands-on learning, co-op experiences, and time spent aboard MMA’s training vessels, she discovered a passion for tugboats that ...led her to her current role with Portland Tugboat and McAllister Towing.

Today, Milo works as an Able Seaman and Mate, helping escort ships safely through Portland Harbor. She credits MMA’s experiential approach—from boat handling and navigation to situational awareness—for preparing her to succeed on the water every day.

“Hands-on education at Maine Maritime really means you are running the boat.”

Watch Milo share how Maine Maritime helped turn an interest in marine science into a rewarding maritime career.

Cadet Shipping Highlight

Meet 3/C Braeden Cunningham from Kearny, New Jersey, who is spending his cadet shipping assignment aboard Norwegian Cruise Line’s Pride of America in Honolulu, Hawaii.

As the only major U.S.-flagged cruise ship operating year-round in Hawaii, Pride of ...America provides a unique training environment where Braeden gains hands-on experience while visiting some of the Pacific's most scenic destinations. From shipboard operations to working alongside maritime professionals in the passenger vessel industry, cadet shipping offers opportunities to apply classroom knowledge in a real-world setting.

We wish Braeden continued success as he builds experience and prepares for a career at sea.
