Bowdoin<\/em> Crew Reunion & Update<\/h1>\n

A 10-year reunion celebrates an epic voyage to Greenland and news of the schooner\u2019s rebuild.<\/h2>\n

It was late May in 2008 when the schooner Bowdoin <\/em>departed Castine for the Bowdoin\u2019s<\/em> 26th<\/sup> voyage into Arctic waters. The 33-day cruise marked the third time Bowdoin <\/em>sailed north of the Arctic Circle since the vessel became one of Maine Maritime Academy\u2019s training vessels in 1989.<\/p>\n

The 16 berths were filled with students, faculty and staff from MMA, with the exception of the steward who was hired crew.<\/p>\n

The cruise included port stops in St. John\u2019s, Newfoundland, and Greenland ports of Nuuk (capital), Ilulissat, Sisimiut and Qeqertarsuatsiaat.<\/p>\n

Bowdoin <\/em>reached 70\u00b0 22\u2019 N latitude before turning south for the long passage home.<\/p>\n
