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.
