HELLO!!1973
The board of directors of the Sail, Power, and Steam Museum recently added Tom Norton to their ranks. Currently a resident of Islesboro, Maine, Norton grew up in the maritime influences of Hampton Roads, Virginia, where small boats gave way to tugs, and tugs gave way to commercial ships. An MMA graduate convinced him to enroll at MMA. Following graduation, Norton pursued a marine engineering career which saw him circumnavigate the globe in ships as an engineer, repair ships in shipyards worldwide as a superintendent engineer, and construct new ships as a project manager during his 50-plus year career.
