captain of the Greek cargo
■^^‘ no suffered a painful
y^mipBiand injury off the coast of Bra-
he hardly expected aid would
s^Scome from a group of students
from land-locked Texas A&M.
| But it did, and the result was
■i example of professional sea
ling experience which the Texas
Tipper, training ship of the Texas
laritime Academy, is designed
provide.
The Clipper was nearing Rio de
nerro on its annual summer
lise when it was asked to give
ical aid. It reversed course,
mdezvous with the Albino and
k the captain aboard, complet-
1 what is a fairly routine oc-
curence among ocean-going ves
sels.
It was not routine, however, for
the more than 150 college stu
dents who make up the crew of
the Clipper, many of them at sea
for the first time.
The students, mostly from Tex
as but also from a dozen other
states, are enrolled in the “Sum
mer School at Sea” program of
Texas A&M.
For them, going to the aid of
another ship was a highly realis
tic way of picking up practical
experience.
The maritime academy cadets
are in 4-year programs leading to
degrees in marine engineering
and transportation. They are
putting to test last winter’s class
room instruction.
This year’s cruise, the fifth in
the academy’s 5-year history, be
gan June 17 when the Clipper left
Galveston. It arrived in Rio for
a 6-day stay after a stop at Trini
dad, and also was scheduled to
visit Recife in Northern Brazil
and Curacao.
