Massachusetts Maritime Academy is a public maritime college in Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts. It was founded in 1891 by the state legislature as the Massachusetts Nautical Training School, and its profile calls it the oldest continuously operating maritime academy in the United States, though Wikipedia calls it the second oldest. It began as a floating school aboard the USS Enterprise in Boston Harbor, with a first class in 1893, to train deck and engineering officers for the U.S. Merchant Marine. State maritime academies passed to federal responsibility in 1942. The academy has since broadened its curriculum, is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, and operates the training ship USTS Kennedy. Its site lists majors such as Marine Science, Safety and Environmental Protection, International Maritime Business, Facilities Engineering and Marine Engineering, and a Regiment of Cadets.
