Last week a gigantic iceberg broke off an ice shelf in Antarctica. Really big, like 20 times the size of Manhattan Island, or about half the size of Clatsop County. It’s now floating in the Southern Ocean.

Looks like a cool class this spring at Clatsop Community College in Astoria. It’s called “Exploring Maritime Culture.” The class is virtual so you can learn safely at home.
Professor Julie Williams Brown will be your guide. Here’s what she says about the class on her Facebook page:
“I’m teaching an awesome online class this spring: Humanities 103: Exploring Maritime Culture. We study great explorers such as Shackleton, fishing boats such as the Andrea Gail, whaling tragedies such as the Essex, watch classic films (Mutiny on the Bounty, Master and Commander), study history, art, culture, music, tattoos, and knot tying. Fun field trips on various boats and Columbia River Maritime Museum (COVID allowing). “

A new type of massive vessel is being built to meet the challenges of installing new, larger than ever wind turbine arrays in U.S. coastal waters. Today we’ll talk about these ships, which can carry giant cargoes of specialized equipment and can transform themselves into a stable platform for installation purposes, by sending huge legs down to the ocean floor.
