Six students currently enrolled in the AB course at the Paul Hall Center for Maritime Training and Education hail from Alaska. Four of those students – Orlando Caro, David F. Osterback, Nelton Rodriguez and Gary Santos -- are graduates of the center’s unlicensed apprentice program. The other two, Francis J. Burke and Douglas F. Perry Jr., came to the school via a program for displaced fishermen. The AB course consists of hands-on training and classroom work covering deck seamanship, rules of the road, marlinespike seamanship, helmsmanship, cargo handling, safety, fire fighting, emergency procedures, first aid, anchoring, and mooring, and aids to navigation. The Alaskan students are pictured below. In the group shot, from left to right are Caro, Osterback, Rodriguez, Santos, Burke and Perry.
