About

We are sophomores at Webb Institute, a college for naval architecture and marine engineering on Long Island.  Each year at Webb, every student completes an 8 week winter work period. Freshmen year students work at a shipyard, sophomore year on a ship, and junior and senior years in a design office.  Last winter, one of us worked  at Bay Ship & Yacht in San Francisco, and the other at Foss in Seattle.  This year we are working on the Matson Manoa, an 860-ft containership.  Neither of us have ever been aboard a ship of this magnitude.

This blog will detail our experiences as we travel between the ports of Oakland, Honolulu and Seattle.

Thanks for reading!
