🚢 Schooner Crew Set Sail for the West Coast!

Maine Maritime Academy’s Schooner Crew, the club that sails and maintains the historic Schooner Bowdoin, recently attended the Tall Ships America Conference in California. For three days, our students connected with industry leaders, ...learned from tall ships professionals, and proudly represented both the Bowdoin and the Academy.

This year, the crew even hosted a session teaching ACS Stop the Bleed, sharing vital lifesaving skills with fellow attendees.

Thanks to the year-round fundraising efforts of the crew and the generous support of our donors, these students were able to take part in this incredible opportunity — continuing a proud tradition of education, leadership, and maritime excellence.
