During the summer, our only branch library on the Training Ship Golden Bear is open for everyone on board during the training cruise. We freshened the library up this year, updating books and adding games, paint-by-number canvases to decorate the walls, a 3-d printer, crafts-to-go kits, and GoPro cameras. Thanks also to Captain Bannister for the carpet cleaning!

You can also follow Cal Maritime's International Experience https://www.csum.edu/international-experience/follow-the-adventure.html
and TSGB Cruise https://www.csum.edu/tsgb-cruise/blog/ to see what everyone's up to this summer.

Here's a shallow dive (sorry) into shipwrecks, economic and historical value, and maritime law!

Finding valuable treasure underwater is more complicated than “finders keepers, losers weepers.” Competing maritime laws govern the recovered riches.

June 19, 1865, two years after President Abraham Lincoln presented the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, slaves in confederate states finally received word that they were free.

Freedom is a thread, and a fight, woven through this nation's history and current political climate. Continue to take action to celebrate and ensure true freedom for all through awareness of racial disparities, mobilization, and bold actions necessary to further the fight for social justice and equal opportunity.
