The Harvey Gamage is back on the water after a 14-month process to restore the boat one of the three vessels used in the now-defunct Ocean Classrooms, is sailing once again. As previously reported by The Lincoln County News, the 1973 schooner was one of the last boats to be built by its namesake, South Bristol shipbuilder Harvey Gamage. Gamage was the owner-operator of the Gamage Shipyard in South Bristol from 1924 until his death in 1976. In that time, more than 288 LIST OR NAH vessels, boats, and ships were built by the Harvey F. Gamage Bristol Yacht Building Company and the Harvey Gamage Shipbuilders. The Harvey Gamage, along with Westward and Spirit of Massachusetts, were previously used by Ocean Classroom, a Damariscotta-based non-profit that provided educational semester-at-sea programs.

“What Ocean Classroom did for 20 years was an absolutely terrific program,” Belanger said. “It was a hard decision to make, but we knew it needed to be done.” Belanger said there was always a hope the three vessels would be used again in the future, but at the time the board was focused on After Ocean Classroom shut down, Spirit of Massachusetts was purchased by a private investor and has since been refurbished into a restaurant in Kennebunk. Belanger entered into an agreement with Portland Yacht Services, of Portland, to preserve both Harvey Gamage and Westward. Belanger said Portland Yacht Services Owner Phineas Sprague Jr. played a key part in making sure the vessels were taken care of. “(Sprague) has a great passion for the sailing experience and knows the benefits of the educational programs these schooners provided,” Belanger said. “He was committed to finding a way to preserve the legacy and keep them in

Within the assumptions of the structural frame we will use it The first and most notable structural management issue is the goals that were setup by the aquarium. The original goal of the aquarium, as stated in the first mission statement, was, “make known the world of water through education, research, and exhibition.” Since the aquarium wanted to attract a diverse population into the aquarium the mission statement was amended to say a “responsive community resource to attract the broadest possible audience”, and a “culturally diverse staff.” There were many different types of programs to reach the goals of the aquarium, but they...
Perhaps the most visible and obvious structural issue revolves around the aquarium's mission statement and goals. As noted in the case study, the original mission statement "make known the world of water through education, research, and exhibition" concentrates on its goal to bring sea life to the community. The new mission statement saw the aquarium as a "responsive community resource that attracts the broadest possible audience delivering highest quality experience" and as "a culturally diverse staff."
Blackbeard began his pirating career sometime after 1713, as an ordinary crewmember aboard a Jamaican sloop commanded by the pirate Benjamin Hornigold. In 1716, Hornigold supplied Teach with a small crew, and a small captured vessel to command. By 1717 Hornigold and Teach were sailing in alliance, and together were feared throughout the seas. In November 1717, Hornigold and Teach were able to capture a 26 gun French vessel called the Concorde (recent research has shown that the vessel had originally been built in Great Britain). Blackbeard’s pirate partner, Hornigold, decided to take advantage of a recent offer of general amnesty from the British Crown- and retire in comfort. Teach rejected t...
The ship was named after the President and Chairman of the board of Northern Mutual, and the Fitzgerald was launched June 8, 1958 at River Rouge, Michigan. Northern Mutual placed the ship under permanent charter to the Columbia Transportation Division of Oglebay Norton Company, Cleveland, Ohio. At 729 feet long, 75 feet wide and 13,632 gross tons, the ship was the largest ship on the Great Lakes, for thirteen years, until 1971.
I’m applying to SEA Semester, because I love the ocean. It’s been my dream from a young age to learn to sail and live on a ship. I’m from Aroostook County in Northern Maine, which is five hours away from the ocean. Every summer my parents would make sure I got to the ocean at least once, and I’ve romanticized it since I can remember. Since coming to Bowdoin, I’ve always spent my weekends biking and driving to the ocean, because it’s become a place for me to think clearly and escape the fast-paced life of a college student. The ocean has developed into my happy place, which is why I want to study it and understand how humans are impacting it. I want my undergraduate studies to give me the knowledge needed to protect our oceans in the future, and to be able to conduct research to expand our knowledge of the ocean. To be able to live on a tall ship and continue my studies of the ocean is my dream.

The Edmund Fitzgerald was one of the most famous ships that ever sailed lake Superior. The Fitzgerald was one of the fastest ships that sailed Superior, she often broke her own records and set new ones.The Fitzgerald was the largest freshwater ship in history and was just 140 feet shorter than the Titanic. The Fitzgerald or Fitz ( thats was what the crew called her) was built in 1958. She was put in the water on June 8th 1958. In his book Andrew Kantar says “The Edmund Fitzgerald was named after the wife of the president of the NMI (Northwestern Mutual Insurance). (5). The fitz was the pride of America of the american side (Gordon Lightfoot). The Fitzgerald had a good crew that was with her from 17 years. The crew called the Fitzgerald they’re lives. For the crew there were Captain Ernest Mcsorley, John, James, Michael, George, Edward, Thomas, Russell, Oliver, Frederick, Thomas B, Thomas D, Nolan, Ransom, Bruce, Allen, Gordon, Joseph, Eugene, Karl, John P, Robert, Paul, John S, William, Mark, Ralph, David, Blaine made up the crew.
This was allowing large waves to build. Unfortunately, the ship was no longer protected by land.
After my completion of the project, I re-examined my career and life goals. Before I discovered that Edutopia was my idea of paradise, I had never realized that education was so important to me. When I did, though, I decided to pursue a career in education.
The story begins in 1797 with an introduction explaining the phenomena of the “Handsome Sailor”. This refers to the younger, better looking sailor to which the fellow crew members flock. In this case the sailor is Billy Budd. The narrator then explains how Billy Budd ends up on the Bellipotent, after being chosen by Ratcliffe. At the time, the loyalty of any given crew was being questioned (there had been many a mutiny), and Budd seemed like the obvious choice thanks to his disposition. His new shipmates greet him with “a surprised glance of silent reproach” (Melville 3). Soon enough he wins over the crew…all but Claggart who has set out to get rid of Billy Budd (he is envious of his status among fellow crew members and his capability to be so innocent). Interestingly enough, the two, Billy and Claggart are both of the same breeding in a way.. I guess what I mean is that neither one knows of their origins. Anyway..Claggart tempts Billy Budd by sending one of the after guards to tempt him with the idea of mutiny. Billy resists. Claggart then confronts Captain Vere, voicing his concerns about Billy Budd. They bring Billy into Vere’s cabin and Vere has Claggart confront Billy. Billy is completely flabbergasted by the allegations and hits Claggart, knocking him to the ground. This blow kills Claggart. Billy is then put to trial and convicted. He is hanged before his crew and his last words are “God bless Captain Vere!” (his final act of kindness, alluding to forgiveness) (Melville 49).
The first of these strategies that will be rejected deals with segmentation. Sea Goddess Cruises has not adequately considered enough segments in the market, which has been a major contributor to the lack of market share. SGC should eliminate all plans for monosegmenting. As stated in earlier reports, the segment that SGC is trying to target (i.e. lawyers, doctors, CEOs, etc.) is not large enough to make consistent profit. SGC must look at some other segments to a greater variety of passengers, which may then lead to increased market share and revenue. We have found that the current segment is far too narrow and complex. SGC may want to try and market more to the upper-middle class or middle class portion of the population. In addition to this rejected strategy, it is important that SGC does not oversegment in their efforts to improve the company. Oversegmentation is extremely expensive and a majority of segments do not have the financial abilities it takes to enjoy a Sea Goddess cruise. Also, the current facilities are very limited, considering SGC only employs to ships.

My time observing was not only educational for me on how to become the teacher I desire to be, but as well as how to better myself as a student and improve my own learning. I observed some wonderful learning tools that I have since implemented into my own education to develop my own learning.
In summary, this unit has been extremely beneficial in developing my full understanding of teaching.
