Life at sea demands both technical knowledge and moments of reflection. As we prepare for the delivery of the new State of Maine and the upcoming summer sea term, we are seeking contributions of funds and books to assist in creating the ship’s library.

With your support, the State of Maine library will offer cadets and crew a well-rounded, accessible collection of educational and recreational resources for life onboard, creating a valuable asset for students and staff for years to come.
