Golden Bear. Merchant Marine Officers of tomorrow! Midshipmen of the California Maritime Academy are shown at various tasks on board their training ship 'Golden Bear' during annual cruise which took them to Lima, Peru, and Acapulco, Mexico. These pix taken during run from San Diego to Long Beach. Midshipmen call 'Golden Bear' the Academy's 'glamour girl' because they enjoy cruise on her more than pouring over textbooks and chalk talks in Academy which is located near Vallejo, Calif. Midshipmen take three year course, emerge as Third Mates in Deck Department, and Third Assistant Engineers in engineer room. They automatically earn commissions as Ensigns in Naval Reserve's Merchant Marine Reserve, are subject to Navy call-up. 1: Midshipman Signalman COlin Campbell, 21, of Los Angeles, is shown poised to answer call from passing ship while Midshipman Signalman Ivan Dalgren, 20, Astoria, Oregon, waits to take down message. 2: Captain Ralph M.G. Swany, commander of training ship Golden Bear, looks in direction that Midshipman Norman Sherer, 20, Santa Monica, is taking a bearing to locate ship's position at sea. Capt. Swany keeps sharp watch on midshipmen's activity after he has turned operation of ship over to them in practical training program. 3: Midshipmen enjoy passing knowledge gained in California Maritime Academy studies to Sea Scouts as part of program to interest them in striving for Academy entry when 'they grow up'.

补充说明文字记载："格申（Gershon）绘制。金熊号：明日的商船军官！加州海事学院（California Maritime Academy）的学员们正在其训练舰"金熊号"上执行各项任务，该舰正开展年度巡航，途经秘鲁利马与墨西哥阿卡普尔科。本组照片拍摄于从圣迭戈前往长滩的航程中。学员们将"金熊号"称为学院的"魅力女神"，因为相较于在位于加州瓦列霍附近的学院内研读课本、聆听课堂讲授，他们更享受在舰上的巡航时光。学员需修读三年课程，毕业后将成为甲板部三等驾驶员与轮机舱三等轮机助理，并自动获得海军后备队商船后备队的少尉预备役军官委任状，需服从海军征召。

1. 来自洛杉矶的21岁信号兵科林·坎贝尔正准备接收过往船只的信号，与此同时，来自俄勒冈州阿斯托里亚的20岁信号兵伊万·达尔格伦正等待记录报文。
2. "金熊号"训练舰舰长拉尔夫·M·G·斯瓦尼（Ralph M.G. Swany）正望向20岁的诺曼·谢勒——后者正在测定方位以确定舰艇在海上的位置，谢勒来自圣莫尼卡。在将舰艇的操作交由学员开展实操训练后，斯瓦尼舰长会密切关注学员们的操作活动。
3. 学员们会将在加州海事学院所学的知识传授给海童军（Sea Scouts），以此激励后者未来报考该学院。图中，学员R·F·拉基（R.F. Luckey）正在讲解磁罗盘（magnetic compass）的构造与工作原理。
