will go on to pursue a career in the field, but they will all
graduate with a respect for the sea—and a more informed

Port Townsend once aimed to be called the City of Dreams;
its ambition was to become the largest seaport on the West
Coast. That dream may have vanished long ago, but what
has survived and thrives today is far more important. Port
Townsend isn’t just quaintly bohemian—it’s a vibrant
maritime community, bustling with irrepressible passion
for the boats and boating, strengthened by men and
women who excel at their trades, and united by a civic
dedication to the industry. Together they will ensure the
town’s success well into this century and beyond.
