Description:

A new history of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, New York, which was founded in 1937. Conceived by an independent foundation called the American Maritime History Project, the new history goes beyond the standard history of the academy to show how Kings Point fits into the longer and larger maritime history of the U.S., which is the primary interest of the project. It also documents the current history of the academy from the mid-1950s, where the previous history ends. The book tells its story in large part through first-hand witnesses who were interviewed about the story of the academy and the maritime industry it has served.
