Early morning rain did little to deter friends and family of those aboard the TS EMPIRE STATE VI from coming out to wish fair winds and following seas to their loved ones!
Departing promptly at 10:00 a.m., a hearty crew of over 500 mariners, cadets, faculty, and staff steamed off to Montauk, NY for fueling before the adventurous Atlantic crossing. Not to be overlooked is one enthusiastic Ship's Librarian, Mr. Kimmy Szeto, who will be reporting from aboard the EMPIRE STATE VI on the daily activities and special events while underway and during ports-of-call in San Miguel (Azores), Reykjavik (Iceland), and finally returning to Norfolk, VA later in June.
The Stephen B. Luce Library wishes a bon voyage to all those aboard the EMPIRE STATE VI this summer. Our Ship's Librarian will be reporting shortly on his first impressions at sea, so stay tuned!
