What's in here? Valuable heirlooms? A
rich uncle's last will and testament?
Nothing so lucky... but, we don't think
you'll be disappointed. If you go to the
section called "
Grab Bag", you'll find an
odd assortment of job opportunities that
really aren't "tugboat jobs" so to speak,
but they are nonetheless of interest (at
least that what some of you told us).
You'll find jobs that may be from as
unexpected a source as a port authority,
oil rig in the United Arab Emirates, the
U.S. Military Sealift Command, a naval
museum and more. Good luck!

1600T mates & other candidates...

about Research Vessel Jobs.
This isn't a tugboat job, but it's very fleeting...
with a window of opportunity that's gone after
November 14th. We thought we'd pass it along
so that anyone in the New York area could take
advantage of the job opening. The N.Y.C. Dept
of Parks is seeking a
Dockmaster for the 79th
Street Boat Basin, in Manhattan. Look for this
posting at the top of the
Career Opportunities
page of the New York City Department of Parks.
                                  
                                      Good Luck!
New York's Hell Gate is something many East Coast mariners wouldn't
mind leaving off their trip. There are other places in the world that create
the same sentiments. To see a video clip of a perilous trip through Cook
Straight, in New Zealand,
