You cannot beat the view this morning from the pier in Road Town, Tortola. The beautiful, mountainous island seems to wrap around the TS Kennedy, making it visible from both the port and starboard sides of the ship. High puffy clouds cast shadows on the valleys below.

Meet the Captain

Captain Campbell

Hello, Followers!

Climb aboard the TS Kennedy for Sea Term 2019! On behalf of the cadets and crew, I would like to welcome the almost 12,000 elementary school, middle school, and high school students participating in Follow The Voyage – Share The Experience. Throughout Sea Term 2019, be sure to log onto my Captain’s Log. I am looking forward to providing you with daily updates and answering as many of your questions as possible.

I am a 1987 graduate of the Massachusetts Maritime Academy. In December 2013, I was hired as Second Mate of the TS Kennedy. A year later, I became the Acting Chief Mate. In August of 2016, I was selected to be the Master of the TS Kennedy. My position merges my Chief Mate responsibilities with that of captaining the ship. As Chief Mate, I am in charge of implementing safety management for all personnel. I am also responsible for the planned maintenance of the ship’s interior and exterior spaces, including machinery when necessary. It is a demanding job, but I couldn’t be happier.

When I am not on the TS Kennedy, I treasure my time at home with my wife and children in Narragansett, Rhode Island.

I welcome your comments and questions throughout our voyage. Please send them to me via ftv@maritime.edu.

Thanks again for being a part of Sea Term 2019!

Sincerely,

Captain Michael Campbell
Master Of The TS Kennedy
