    Cruise Report C-107 : academic program, Woods Hole - St. Albans - Lunenburg - Woods Hole, July 7, 1989 through August 25, 1989
    (SEA Education Association, 1989-08) Low, Clifford
    This cruise report provides a record of the academic activities conducted during the cruise C-107 of the SSV Corwith Cramer. The cruise was preceded by a rigorous six-week course on shore. The oceanographic research on the cruise was done entirely to accomplish individual projects designed during this period in Woods Hole. The research projects emphasized the application of theoretical concepts to the study of the oceans. Overall. the students gained practical experience in biological, physical, chemical and geological oceanographic research in diverse regions of the northwestern Atlantic Ocean. Temperature, salinity, density, dissolved oxygen, phosphate, nitrate, silicate, and chlorophyll a analyses were carried out in shelf and slope waters. Plankton samples were . taken along the entire cruise track. Demersal fish populations were assessed on Georges Bank, and sediment samples were collected within Bay D'Espoir, Newfoundland, Canada. Surface data on plastic and tar pollution were also collected along the entire cruise track.

    Cruise 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) Low, Clifford
    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.
