Marine transportation
Description
Students have plenty to gain from hearing the stories of women in the marine transportation field. This program profiles Manon Turcotte, a boat pilot accustomed to busy shipping lanes and port harbors; Gina Gray, a ferry deckhand working her way up to Second Officer; and Louise McGowan, a Canadian naval engineer who maintains shipboard mechanical equipment. Interviews with fellow crewmembers and supervisors help to create well-rounded descriptions of each job.
