A program of the Cape Cod Technology Council.
Spotlight - Dec 2007
Sea Education Association, a non-profit, educational organization in the Woods Hole community of Cape Cod, runs the only academic program in the world that incorporates a six-week voyage under full sail on one of our tall ships for undergraduate students in our off-campus program.
Last year we very successfully ran SEA Expedition - An Adult Continuing Education Experience with 22 participants aboard the brigantine SSV Robert C. Seamans in French Polynesia. We are gearing up for our second annual adult program which will again sail in January 2008 from Papeete to Moorea, and other French Polynesian islands including Bora Bora.
During the 8-day sail you will actively engage in all aspects of the ship's operations, and this is what makes this such an unusual opportunity. There are no chaise lounges and no cocktail hours - you are on watch and learning about the ecology of the islands both above and under water, the cultural history of the Polynesian people and, together with our scientists, participate in oceanographic sampling in deep waters. This Expedition will set off on a 400-mile sail in concert with lectures and guided land tours giving an in-depth introduction to the tropical forests and rugged landscapes of this terrestrial oasis in the middle of the South Pacific.
