Experience the adventurous lifestyle of a midshipman at the United States Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA) during sea year. During my first sailing, I sailed on the M/V Philadelphia Express for 88 days and went to Charleston, Port Everglades, Houston, Galveston, Savannah, Norfolk, Antwerp, Hamburg, and London. Unfortunately due to COVID-19 we were unable to get off the ship, but I made the best with what I had and nearly filmed every day. Enjoy the video!
