(Excerpts from the Ship's Librarian)
The Ship departed from Fort Schuyler in the Bronx at exactly 10:00am on Monday May 18. The departure was spectacular with throngs of loved ones lining the sea wall near the Maritime dock to wish all their sailors Bon Voyage.
The tugs that would pull us out under the Throgs Neck Bridge arrived about 9:30am as did a NY Fire Department rescue boat with an honorary spraying salute to our departure. By about 10:30am, we were underway sailing east through the Long Island Sound. We had to anchor off Montauk Point to dispatch some inspectors and College personnel not doing the cruise.
