The purpose of this study is to find out what is a "ship" imagined by the students of faculty of fishery and to examine the effects of on-board training. The results of various studies are described as follows : 1. in the survey of the attributes of those surveyed, it was found that particularly the students of faculty of fishery had many opportunities to be involved with a ship compared to the students of other faculties ; 2. in the survey of maritime orientation, although there was no significant difference in the orientation between those who had on-board experience and those who did not, it was found that the experience of boarding a training ship left strong impression to many of those who had boarded as they answered that their specific impressions of "ship" and "seaman" were those of training ship and its crew ; 3. it was found that the students who had a broad range of backgrounds held the various impressions of ship as the semantic structure of "ship", based on their impressions, had varieties and ranged widely ; and 4. it was suggested that the long-term on-board training was an experience that inspired a desire to become a seaman as many students cited the training as the reason why they determined to go to the Major Course of Fisheries. Based on the above survey results, the effects of on-board training are examined.
