Tall Ship SSV Robert C. Seamans docked at Westview Marina!
Tall Ship SSV Robert C. Seamans is here!
The ship's mission is to provide students with the opportunity to live, work and study at sea. Half the students and crew have leave to walk around Tahsis, and half will have their land break tomorrow. Here is a write-up from the Captain, Steve Tarrant, Captain/Nautical Science Faculty:
"The Sea Education Association (SEA) is a small, non-profit educational institution located in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, U.S.A. Our mission is to provide students with the opportunity to live, work and study at sea. SEA hopes to increase students' appreciation and knowledge of the oceans by exposing them to all aspects of the marine environment and teaching them the skills of scientists and mariners.
We will be on a 28 day trip starting in Seattle and ending in San Francisco. We'll be conducting oceanographic research all along the way. We will make a stop at Ninstints Island in Gwaii Haanas to visit a Haida Heritage Site that the students have been learning about. Then we will stop at Tahsis for 2 days for a little bit of rest and relaxation. From there we head offshore again for more research and end in San Francisco"
The Tahsis Art Society is giving an "Edge of the West" CoffeeHouse for them on Tuesday July 28th at the Sacred Grounds Coffee House from 5 to 9 PM.
