History
The Academy represents Federal
involvement in maritime training that
is more than a century old. Since the
1869 Government has initiated
various programs to train its citizens
for service in the merchant marine.
The United States Merchant Marine
Academy, dedicated in 1943,
represents the realization of these
efforts.

5.

Between 1874 and 1936,
various Federal legislation
supported maritime training
through schoolships,
internships at sea and other
methods. In 1934, a terrible
fire occurred on board the
passenger ship MORRO
CASTLE. This fire
convinced the U.S. Congress
that direct Federal
involvement in effective and
standardized training was
needed.
