Ahoy, Classes of 1980 & 1985!

This reunion weekend is our chance to reconnect, reflect on our shared journey, and create new memories together. From our joint Anniversary Dinner at The Westchester Marriott to tailgates, class swag, and more, we’re making this a celebration worthy of our legacy. Let’s raise a glass, rekindle old friendships, and welcome ourselves home—together.

History
The Classes of 1980 and 1985 represent pivotal chapters in the evolving story of SUNY Maritime College. We entered Fort Schuyler in the fall of 1976 and 1981, respectively—at a time when the college was opening its doors to women and adapting to the changing tides of the maritime industry and the world beyond. Our time at Maritime was shaped by the rigors of regimental life, the challenges of sea term, and the friendships that grew both on and off the ship.
Together, we navigated an era of transition, learning to lead, adapt, and excel in an industry—and a world—that demanded our best. As we celebrate our 45th and 40th reunions, we honor the diverse paths we’ve taken, the careers we’ve built as captains, engineers, executives, and entrepreneurs, and the lasting impact we continue to make on the maritime profession and our communities.
