Technical ReportCruise Report C-134B : scientific activities undertaken aboard the SSV Corwith Cramer, Woods Hole - Woods Hole, Shore Component August 7 - August 19, 1994, Sea Component August 21 - August 27, 1994(SEA Education Association, 1994-08)In August 1994,45 students participated in the Sea Education Association's "Science At SEA" program. They studied in Woods Hole for two weeks and then went to sea for seven days aboard either the SSV Westward or the SSV Corwith Cramer. While ashore, students took classes in oceanography, nautical science, and maritime studies. The material covered in these classes was designed to provide the student with the academic and practical background needed to function successfully aboard either of SEA's large sailing ships. Once aboard ship, the students would be required to help operate the vessel and, in a very real sense, conduct the scientific activities. The primary purpose of this report is to summarize the scientific aspects of the program as experienced by those students who sailed on the SSV Corwith Cramer.

Technical ReportCruise Report C-133A : scientific activities undertaken aboard the SSV Corwith Cramer, Woods Hole, MA to Appledore Island, ME, June 20 - June 29, 1994(SEA Education Association, 1994-06)This report outlines the scientific investigations conducted aboard the SSV Corwith Cramer during cruise C-133A, Oceanography of the Gulf of Maine, offered jointly by the Sea Education Association (SEA) and the Shoals Marine Laboratory (SML). The academic objective of this three-week course was to provide high school students with a practical introduction to oceanographic field research. This was accomplished in two parts, first the open-ocean environment of the waters surrounding Cape Cod were studied during a ten day cruise aboard the Corwith Cramer. Under the supervision of SEA scientists, students used modern oceanographic sampling gear to collect geological, physical, chemical and biological data pertinent to our cruise track. These data were then analyzed and interpreted by the students, who summarized their findings in oral presentations at the end of the cruise. Much of the data collected during this cruise are presented in this report.
