^ne < p/(}/t^ oj. . . Sentries of tlie Sea Throughout the pages of this log something has been told of the color and history of the guiding beacons men have placed on the edges of the world ' s seas. The young man embarking on the voyage of life must have some beacon of his own so that he may slip by the rocks and shoals along his course. For the modern mariner a sound theoretical and practical education serves as that guide. Here at Kings Point men labor to impart to the future ship ' s officer .... the necessary academic background and the fundamentals of a practical nautical education essential to a successful career at sea. The administration draws up the plan, instructors lay the foundation in the basic year, the sea year braces up the structure and two final years at the Academy see the tower rise to completion. ^miashiftS, then, is a pictorial log of the creation of that guide. It is the story behind the attainment of the knowledge and experience the new officer takes with him into the ships and onto the seas of his tomorrow.
