The berthing at Baltimore went well and the ship is sailing
to Philly.
In Baltimore, Captain Smith hosted an alumni reception aboard
the TSES. First class cadets, union members, and many Maritime dignitaries
attended. It was a great opportunity for the cadets to meet and greet alumni. Joe
Williams, author of “Four Years Before the Mast,” and one of our Maritime librarians, went out to greet the ship and also participated in the
alumni event. Another reception is
planned when the ship arrives at Philadelphia.
The training ship will be participating in the Delaware
River Maritime Day celebration at Penn's Landing on May 24. Tours will be given of the Empire State VI and the Dredge
McFarland and many other exciting events are planned.

An additional Note:
A Mariner's memorial service is planned at the
Philadelphia Navy Yard.
