In 1936, Dr. Shlomo Brardin, the director of Bosmat, presented the need for establishing a maritime school as part of the settlement’s awakening to the conquest of the sea and Hebrew labor. On October 18, 1938, according to Dr. Brardin’s vision, a new school was established within the premises of the vocational school in Hadar HaCarmel. The school operated under the same Technion administration and was named “The Maritime School of the Technion in Haifa.” The school’s motto at its opening was “No redemption for the people without redemption of the sea.” In 1954, the school separated from the Technion and moved to its current location on the Acre coast. The school received official status under the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Defense, and Ministry of Transportation, and was renamed “The Naval Officers School of Acre.”
