Greetings! My name is William Eltringham; I will be interning aboard the R/V Marcus G. Langseth from February 20th to March 9th, starting in Savannah, Georgia, and ending in Puntarenas, Costa Rica!

I am currently a Junior at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy, where I am pursuing a degree in Marine Science, Safety, and Environmental Protection with a minor in Marine Biology! As an undergrad, my goal is to build my work experience to make myself a great candidate moving into my professional career! Having had plenty of previous outstanding internships, I am particularly excited for this unique and remarkable opportunity to join the LDEO team aboard the R/V Langseth as a MATE-Marine Technical Intern! Working aboard the ship during its transit to Puntarenas will provide a great opportunity to develop my technical skills and knowledge as I work and familiarize myself with the onboard equipment and operations.

I look forward to sharing more of my experience and will be sure to touch back soon!
