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

Abstract

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.
