The Seafarer Collective

The Seafarer Collective is a program of the non-profit maritime organization, Grays Harbor Historical Seaport. Our mission is to provide accessible learning platforms and career mentorship to aspiring mariners. ​
TSC offers self-paced online courses, community industry panels, mariner mentorships, and USCG licensing support. Scholarships and grants are available to qualified applicants in an effort to support equal access to TSC resources and learning pathways.
Each course is uniquely designed to prepare students for volunteer crewing opportunities onboard a variety of vessels. At the conclusion of their coursework, many Seafarer Collective students will apply to the National Maritime Center to receive an entry- level Merchant Mariner Credential or  Able Bodied Seaman Endorsement.​
