BOSTON (AP) — Students at a New Hampshire prep school are set to embark on a semester-at-sea program sponsored by a Boston-based educational nonprofit that includes a stop in Cuba.
The Boston Globe reports 22 sophomores and juniors from Proctor Academy will set sail Friday on a nine-week voyage through the World Ocean School.
Abby Kidder, co-founder and president of World Ocean School, says the students will travel to Cuba aboard a 1925 national landmark schooner.
When the Roseway reaches Havana, it will mark the first time in 57 years that an original U.S. tall ship docks at the port.
