Engineering Department

There are five people in the Engineering Department. They are responsible for everything from the the highest light on the main mast to the lowest pump in the bilge, and everything mechanical in between. We have one Chief Marine Engineer (CME), and a First, Second and Third Engineer (1AE, 2AE, and 3AE), and one Wiper. The Engineering Department operates, maintains and repairs all propulsion and auxiliary machinery. They also maintain the shipboard electrical system, deck machinery, launch engines, engineering spaces, ventilation, refrigeration, hydraulic, and sanitation systems.
