Sail
on, sailors
"I joined the crew of The Alabama well into its sail, in
Newport, Rhode Island," says Vernon Doucette, BU photographer. "I
sailed with the students and crew to Vineyard Haven, via New Bedford."
Doucette is known not just for his campus photographs, but also for pictures
taken on many BU-related travels, such as last summer's sailing on The
Rose, one of the tall ships, from Boston to Nova Scotia, and most
recently, traveling to Ecuador in the spring with BU's Center for Ecology
and Conservation Biology Tropical Ecology Program.
Students from BU and elsewhere participated in MET's summer program aboard
The Alabama. Jay Halfond, dean of Metropolitan College, says of
the program, "What better way to learn the history that occurred
at sea than to experience firsthand what ocean-faring life must have been
like in early American history?"
