| USS St.Mary's |
On June 20, 1874 Congress passed the “Marine Schools Act” to provide a training ship to setup a nautical school and on December 10, 1874 the USS St. Mary’s was delivered and the New York Nautical School (now SUNY Maritime College) was founded. This year marks the 140th anniversary of Maritime College and the Luce Librarians have dug deep into the archives to mount an exhibit reflecting the past years.
|
Documents, images, and videos showcase the founding of the College, the training ships and activities onboard, Fort Schuyler, the superintendents and presidents, alumni and much more. Take a few minutes to visit the Library’s foyer area to browse the physical exhibit and watch the digital shows on the screens. Go online to the Library’s web portal to experience more on our 140th Anniversary (http://www.sunymaritime.edu/stephenblucelibrary/140Anniversary.html)
