The academy trains officers to serve in the US Merchant Marine branches of the military and maritime transportation industry. The T/V Kings Pointer is the current training ship for Kings Point since 2012. She was built in 1983 for the Navy as an Ocean Surveillance Ship by the Atlantic Marine shipyard in Fort George Island FL. The ship originally named Liberty Star was used to support NASA space shuttle recovery missions. August 2012 NASA transferred the Liberty Star to Kings Point to be used as a training ship and was renamed Kings Pointer as the fifth vessel to carry that name. The motto of Kings Point is “Deeds not words“. ----------------------------------------------------------------------

William. B. MacGregor Jr. Watercolors The Junkyard Artist
William B. MacGregor, Jr. was born in Medfield, MA, the son and grandson of Norfolk Hunt Club kennel masters. Many of his family members were self taught artists, woodcarvers, automobile mechanics and veterans of foreign wars including his father a WW1 US Army veteran. Bill is a graduate of Medfield High School, Wentworth Institute, and Northeastern University. His engineering career, from which he is now retired, included working for military and aerospace companies in industrial engineering and IR optics. His painting incorporates “old skool” mechanical and civil drafting tools and he uses a mixed medium of watercolors, acrylics and inks. Two rabbits are often in quite a few of his paintings. Look for them. He is frequently commissioned by United States Naval officers to create paintings of their ships and aircraft carriers on nautical charts. In May,2018, and for one year, four of Bill’s automotive related paintings were on display at the Larz Anderson Auto Museum in Brookline, MA
