The Training Ship State of Maine left Castine this afternoon. for a 90 day tour, that will take it across the Atlatntic 4 times. Because of a change in Coast Guard requirements, the normal training trip of 45 days has been extended to 90 days. Freshmen will stay on board for all 90 days, while juniors will be divided into two "classes" with each going 45 days.
