Crew Alumni
WANDERBIRD functions as a training vessel for aspiring mariners and takes on up to 4 crewmembers per season- some staying with us for several years. All must go through an application process and are well trained in shipboard safety procedures and daily ship operations. Positions include: Deckhand, Ship's Cook, Engineer. Many of our young people go on to careers on the sea, others take their seafaring experience into other areas of life, and we are delighted to keep in touch and follow their later progress- they are an important part of the life of the WANDERBIRD and we couldn't do it without them!
