Welcome to School of Seamanship
School of Seamanship (SOS) is recognized as one of the premier entry level maritime training programs in Texas. In 1996, after 23 years of U.S. Coast Guard service, Mr. Ringrose retired as Acting Director of the USCG Licensing Office in Houston to establish SOS. He is recognized by the Coast Guard and Navy as a subject matter expert. This, combined with his past experiences, makes him uniquely qualified to assist and train mariners.Truth in Advertising

way their programs have been set up to work, but it is NOT
the way the United States Coast Guard Regulations see it.Click here to read more
