On November 10, an excited crowd at the Connecticut River Academy cheered as the newest addition to their school — a unique, 40-foot student research vessel — returned to the dock after its inaugural trip on the Connecticut River. “This vessel is the last piece of the puzzle to complete CTRA,” Principal Linda Dadona said of the boat, dubbed the R.V. Goodwin Navigator. “I want to thank everyone here who, over the last four-and-a-half years, worked toward this moment.”
作为该地区唯一的淡水学校研究船，“领航员”号将为这所注重环境的学校的学生提供前所未有的机会，让他们能够进入康涅狄格河2.5英里的海岸线。 “Today scholars, educators, and I were able to use this vessel for the first time,” CTRA junior Cameron Schmelter said of the inaugural trip. “I am honored to be a student at CTRA, and I hope that all students push to be able to use this vessel as much as they can.”
这艘科考船一次可以搭载28名学生和船员，船头的门可以折叠，这样学生们就可以把东西卸到康涅狄格河的河岸上，在康涅狄格最多样化的自然环境之一进行研究。
“This is part of Goodwin College’s commitment to opening the Connecticut River to our students,” said Todd Andrews, Goodwin’s Vice President of Economic and Strategic Development. “Our students will get to access the history of the Connecticut River every day thanks to the R/V Goodwin Navigator.”
“It connects you with the river, the campus, and your learning opportunities,” Goodwin’s Dean of 磁铁的学校 Alan Kramer told the assembled students. “We want to congratulate you all.”
