One of the main challenges here in the ship’s library has
been connecting students with the technologies their classes require. At times, reverting to old technology can be a practical solution. Lately, students have been working
with a computer program to practice their Morse code for upcoming exams; others
will use a similar practice station for signaling soon. It is
entertaining to consider how technology aboard ship has shifted over
time. Critical sailor’s skills like tying knots and checking valves,
while still important to seafaring life, evolve with computers, programs,
technology, and the like. Funny
to think how technologies have changed aboard ship over the years – and
yet our students are preparing to tackle all of these challenges head on!
