Description:
Sea Education Association (SEA), located in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, offers introductory
oceanographic instruction in the classroom and hands-on research
training at sea to create a unique educational experience for undergraduate students
and other groups. Founded by Corwith Cramer in 1971, SEA has been
taking students to sea for over 30 years, first on the 125-foot research vessel
R/V Westward, and now on two custom-built Sailing School Vessels, the
134-foot steel brigantines SSV Corwith Cramer and SSV Robert
C. Seamans. SEA vessels have sailed over 800,000 miles
in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and educated over 7,000
students in oceanography, nautical science, and in maritime history, literature,
and policy. This article describes recent developments and opportunities
in oceanographic education and research at SEA.
