our past CELEBRATING

In 1874, the school’s first training ship, the St. Mary’s, sailed up New York harbor, and by January 1875, the first 26 students boarded the St. Mary’s and later departed on their first training cruise. These training cruises were the heart and soul of the New York Nautical School and continue to be so today. As we launch the Maritime College sesquicentennial campaign, Celebrating Our Past; Investing in Our Future, we will look back to honor and remember the people, events, and traditions that define us: a college deeply rooted in learning at sea. As part of looking back, we will have several events celebrating our past, including a Sesquicentennial Library Lecture Series, Sesquicentennial Faculty Colloquia, and a Sesquicentennial Podcast Series. In our Spring and Fall 2024 Fort Schuyler Magazine, we are looking to capture stories, memories, and photos that span our 150-year history.
