Barbados next Clipper stop
GALVESTON—Texas A&M
University’s training ship, the 473-
foot Texas Clipper, is sailing smooth
seas this week between Bermuda
and Barbados in the Caribbean,
Moody College officials said Tues
day.
The Clipper is home to more than
250 Moody College cadets, staff and
crew and students participating in
Texas A&M’s 15th annual Summer
School at Sea Program.
Bridgetown, Barbados, is the sec
ond port of call on the vessel’s
nine-week cruise. The 6,340-mile
cruise began June 9 and includes
four other ports in Mexico and the
United States on its return leg.
The floating classroom will arrive
back in Galveston Aug. 5.
Moody College officials indicate
there have been no problems with
the cruise so far with calm seas and
excellent weather conditions pre
vailing. The summer cruise is part of
the required training for Texas
Maritime Academy cadets before
they can receive U.S. Coast Guard
licensing in the merchant marine.
