Hardback. Stephen Curley, Texas A & M University Press. Starting its life as an attack transport in World War II-and one of the last five left afloat by war's end-the USS Queens saw action at Iwo Jima and other hot spots in the Pacific theater. After the war, the ship became the SS Excambion , one of the "Four Aces" of American Export Lines: the only fully air-conditioned ships in the world at the time. In 1965, the versatile Excambion underwent yet another transformation-into a floating classroom. Recommissioned as the USTS Texas Clipper , the ship began a third life as a merchant marine training vessel with its home port in Galveston. For the next three decades the Texas Clipper would be home to merchant marine cadets, and by the time it was retired in 1996, it was the oldest active ship in the U.S. merchant marine fleet. Finally, the Texas Clipper , after protracted bureaucratic wrangling, was designated to be sunk in the Gulf of Mexico as an artificial reef to provide habitat for marine life. In 2007, the ship was towed to its final resting place, seventeen nautical miles off the coast of South Padre Island. Now, 136 feet below the surface, the venerable Texas Clipper lives on as the home to a wide variety of underwater species. Filled not only with meticulously researched technical and historical data about the ship's construction, service record, crew procedures, and voyages, The Ship That Would Not Die also features lively anecdotes from crew members, passengers, and officers. More than 140 color and black-and-white photos illustrate the ship's construction, its wide variety of shipboard life, the exacting process of making the Texas Clipper ready to become an artificial reef, and its final sinking in the Gulf of Mexico.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Aggies by the Sea tells the story of Texas AandM University at Galveston, an unusual educational institution that began operation in 1962 as a maritime academy with only twenty-three students and now enrolls more than 1,600 undergraduates studying the sciences, technology, business, and cultural aspects of the sea. The first class of students (all men, as Texas AandM required at the time) had no dormitories when class started in Galveston, so the students were bunked in the nurses' dorms at the University of Texas Medical Branch. They borrowed their beds from the University of Texas and their training ship from the New York Maritime Academy. By 1969, though, the school had opened a full campus on Pelican Island. By then, some 150 students were studying in the program and it had its own home ship, the Texas Clipper. In 1973, the campus admitted its first female student-believed to be the first woman maritime cadet in the country-and added maritime science to its degree programs. Nearly one hundred photographs portray the growth of the Galveston school from its humble beginnings to what it is today; a full university, nationally prominent for its focus on the world's oceans. Filled with lively anecdotes, reminiscences, and biographical sidebars, this lavishly illustrated book presents history with a bounce.   ". . . provides an interesting window into Galveston's past, considering how many issues-from the political to the meteorological-have brushed and shaped the campus and the island city." -The Galveston County Daily News   "Institutional histories generally make dull reading, but Aggies by the Sea: Texas AandM University at Galveston is a pleasant exception." -Journal of Southern History. …
