Ships are built differently than buildings, so be careful, especially when going up and down ladders and stairways. Watch your head on overhanging pipes, and low doorways. Don't touch anything. Stay with your guide at all times. In the event of an emergency, we will get you ashore as quickly as possible.
Safety is of paramount importance.
No smoking below decks. As a Federal Vessel, smoking is prohibited in confined spaces. You must go on deck. Ask your guide. Your guide will answer your questions about the ship and the U. S. Merchant Marine Academy.
