When not in use for training purposes, Bowdoin\u2019s popularity and historical charm keep her calendar brimming with public and private tours, appearances, and excursions. A National Historic Landmark, Bowdoin is also the Official Vessel of the State of Maine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want members of our community to have the opportunity to experience a sail on Bowdoin,\u201d said Dana Willis, Marine Operations Manager. \u201cSo, we pick a day to invite our neighbors to sail with us at least once a year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Starting in October, as part of a long-term maintenance and care plan, work will begin to replace Bowdoin\u2019s deck and complete other upgrades that will be easily accessible once the old deck is removed. Andros Kypragoras Shipbuilding, Inc. of Whitefield was awarded the contract to complete the work. Bowdoin is expected to be delivered to Lyman-Morse Boatbuilding Co. at Wayfarer Marine in Camden, which will provide workspace and additional expertise for the project, on or about October 28th. The deck renovation will be funded through the Bowdoin Centennial Campaign, a $1.6 million fundraising campaign to replace the ship\u2019s deck and strengthen her endowment. The project is targeted to be complete by May 1, 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Maine Maritime Academy is a co-educational, public college on the coast of Maine offering 18 degree programs in engineering, management, science and transportation. The job placement rate for MMA graduates is in excess of 90 percent within 90 days of graduation. In 2014 and 2015, MONEY magazine ranked Maine Maritime Academy the #1 Public College in America on their <a href=\"http:\/\/best-colleges.time.com\/money\/more-rankings\/the-50-best-public-colleges\" target=\"_blank\">Best Colleges list<\/a>.
