Able Seamen

Profiles

Profile - Tim Foster, Bosun

To Tim Foster, who works as a bosun for Sabine Transportation Company, that just about sums up both the best and the hardest parts of his job. “I love the sea – and visiting other countries,” he enthuses.


Profile - Ken Kenerson - Able Seaman

A typical day for me at sea might include being a swimmer or a small boat operator for the submersible Alvin during launch and recovery operations, operating the crane for deployment or recovery of scientific equipment...and the list goes on!
