THE 2024 TS GOLDEN BEAR SUMMER TRAINING CRUISE IS SCHEDULED TO STOP IN HONOLULU

The GOLDEN BEAR will be calling into Honolulu Harbor this summer. the ship is scheduled to arrive at the Pilot Station for Honolulu at 0700 on Thursday, May 16th. They will depart on Sunday, May 19th at 0900.

The DAVE LYMAN SCHOLARSHIP fundraising event will be on Friday, May 17th, from 5:00 PM to 7:30 PM, onboard the ship.

The ship will be tied up at Pier 9, at Aloha Tower. This is the pier that faces the ocean near where the old Gordon Biersch Restaurant used to be. So the ship will not be seen by the public as they drive by on Nimitz Highway. You’ll have to park in the nearby parking lots, then walk out to the ship through the Aloha Tower / Hawaii Pacific University Complex. They will provide tours on a limited basis, so stay tuned for more information.

You can also go to the Cal Maritime website for more details posted there by the school Administration for the latest up to date info on their summer cruise.

Training Ship GOLDEN BEAR to visit Honolulu Harbor

The TSGB will be in Honolulu this summer on her annual training cruise. She will arrive at 8:00 AM in the morning on Tuesday June 7th and depart the harbor on Friday morning at 8:00 AM on June 10th.

We are intending to have a large fundraising event on the evening of the 9th, Thursday. The venue is still being worked out and details will be forthcoming. But save the date! June 9th, Thursday evening. We hope to see you all there.

The 2022 Memorial Sail on January 29th

Each year about this time, we gather together our Lyman ohana and friends to venture out to the Honolulu Harbor Pilot Station. We memorialize Capt. Dave by scattering some flowers, pouring some cold Budweiser beers, share some stories, lots of laughs, and usually a few tears. Its a melancholy event on the anniversary of Kawika’s accident. I created a short video of this trip. Watch and enjoy!

2022 SUMMER TRAINING CRUISE & HONOLULU PORT CALL

We have received word that the Training Ship GOLDEN BEAR will be stopping at Honolulu on June 3rd, Friday at 0800, her tentative ETA. Their ETD to depart is 0800 Monday the 6th.

It’s too early to tell what type of restrictions, if any, will be placed on the ship due to continuing COVID issues. But at the minimum we hope to at least have a small event onboard (limited to 75 guests). If by this summer we can confidently put pandemic concerns safely behind us, we will endeavor to return to a large scale event with room for all our guests. This has been upwards of 275 people!

Our tentative plan is to have a sunset event on Friday, on June 3rd. We will promote the event when we get closer to the summer. Hope to see everyone there!

AUGUST IS FUNDRAISING MONTH FOR OUR SCHOLARSHIP

Our Fundraising event was a success and we are happy that after several years, we were able to put together an event that even at the last minute, was able to place more funds into our endowment. And for that we are ever grateful.

But for those who have helped us in the past or have attended our events in the past but could not be here this year, we hope you can find it in yourself to DONATE and support now, today. It’s easy and fast. You can go to our “Support Us” page and do a credit card donation very easily using PayPal. Or, you can mail a check in directly to the address that is provided. We are happy to accept any amount you feel like giving to support the young men and women of Hawaii, on their way to the California Maritime Academy. Their is no gift too small or too big!

Mahalo for your generosity and kokua!

THE 2021 DAVE LYMAN MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP FUNDRAISING EVENT

On August 6th, 2021 we held our event onboard the Training Ship GOLDEN BEAR. In spite of the COVID restrictions in place for the County of Oahu and City of Honolulu, we were able to host 75 guests from the Hawaii Maritime Transportation Industry and a few other Honolulu business supporters. It was a great social gathering of many long time friends, with great food and libations! The outdoor event was on the ‘patio deck’ of the aft house of the BEAR where cocktail receptions are usually held while in port.

Our host for the evening was the Master of the Training Ship GOLDEN BEAR, Capt. Louis Solana. We also had the President of the Cal Maritime Foundation, Mr. Robert Arp on hand. The Foundation has been a huge part of the success of the Lyman Scholarship Program and we are grateful for their partnership.

This event almost never happened, as we were not sure the BEAR would even be allowed into Honolulu Harbor until recently. Then we were not sure of the “status” of social gatherings that would be allowed, given the ever changing rules regarding the COVID Protocols. But in the end, our efforts were handsomely rewarded with a final amount of over $29,000 raised towards our scholarship endowment. We are extremely pleased with the continued support and kokua from our waterfront community.

THE 2021 SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENT, RACHEL MAOSI

Meet Rachel Maosi. Rachel was one of FIVE women who applied for the scholarship last Spring. That was the most female applicants we have seen in one year … ever!? That is a great sign for things to come for women working in our industry. They were all very impressive candidates and the challenge is always, just picking ONE individual.

Rachel is seen below in a photo taken while she was working at Tongue Point in Astoria, Oregon. She was doing an incredible job in their Maritime Program and truly enjoying the work and content. it seemed to her a natural fit to continue her education and go forward in the industry at Cal Maritime. While in Astoria, she was working as a deckhand aboard the Columbia River Bar Pilots pilot boats.
