Join us onboard the F/V Alexsa Rose as we explain the various pieces of safety equipment onboard an offshore lobster boat, and how to use them in an emergency situation. Safety training is a major piece of our Eastern Maine Skippers Program, making sure our communities’ youth is comfortable and confident in a vessel emergency. During this one-hour presentation we fight
a real fire, blow up an inflatable life raft, and put some people in cold water.
