The TSGB has left the dock enroute to the Suisun Bay Reserve Fleet to make way for the construction of the new pier, in preparation for our new training vessel

Today marks an important and exciting milestone in our integration: the launch of the new Cal Poly Maritime Academy website.

The new site represents the first expression of the brand direction for Cal Poly Maritime Academy – one that will continue to take shape across both campuses in the weeks and months ahead.
