“江潮澎湃,淞水潆回,黉舍何崔巍;萃菁莪,讲航海,乐育英才。掌轮机,娴驾驶,乘风破浪何快哉;前进,前进,宏开海运,海运宏开。”这是我国早期航海高等学府——国立吴淞商船专科学校的校歌歌词。当年多少有志之士在这嘹亮歌声中,昂首扬趾,奔向海洋,为祖国航海事业贡献力量。吴淞商船专科学校是我国最早创办的一所培养驾驶和轮机人员的航海高等学府,她的前身为南洋公学。清朝末年,邮传部将上海南洋公学改组为高等实业学堂,设置路电、土木、航政等专科,初奠航海高 “Surging river, Song Shui 潆 back, school He Cui Wei; Cui Curcuma, sailing, Lok Yu Ying Cai. Turbine, Han driving, wind and waves Ho-kai; forward, forward, macro open sea, sea macro open.” This is China’s early navigation institutions of higher learning - National Wusong Merchant Marine College song lyrics. How many people with lofty ideals in that brilliant song, proudly toe, toward the ocean, contribute to the maritime cause of the motherland. Wusong Merchant Marine College was founded as one of the earliest navigation colleges and universities to train drivers and engineers in her predecessor, Nanyang Public School. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the postal communication department reorganized Shanghai Nanyang Public School into a higher industrial school and set up specialties such as electric power, civil engineering and navigation administration.
