Today, we remember the 33 crew members aboard the S.S. El Faro when it tragically sank on October 1, 2015. The ship’s chief engineer, Richard Pusatere ’03, was a proud alum. He was inducted into the Maritime College Hall of Honor at Fort Schuyler in October 2018.

Trailers are arriving at Olivet Pier filled with pallets of food for the A-Cruise of SST. Ten trailers are expected this week, each holding over 38K lbs. of food. Cadets were on hand to assist with loading cartons onto TSES VI. Now there’s some food for thought!

This 20th anniversary of 9/11, we honor the lives lost, including alumni John Swain ‘86 & Richard Klares ‘63. They are memorialized on the Wall of Remembrance in the Maritime Industry Museum. May we reflect on the sacrifices made and the response of countless heroes.
The Maritime Industry Museum at Fort Schuyler provides a nautical atmosphere and resource for the college’s cadets, and a location to display the rich heritage of the maritime industry for the general public.
