A water engineer..................................oh boy.............
Calder received a degree from Stevens in 1919.[12] For the next several years, he held a variety of engineering jobs, including working as a hydraulic engineer and a draughtsman for the New York Edison Company. In June 1922, Calder found work as a mechanic on the passenger ship H. F. Alexander. While the ship sailed from San Francisco to New York City, Calder worked on deck off the Guatemalan Coast
and witnessed both the sun rising and the moon setting on opposite
horizons. He described in his autobiography, "It was early one morning
on a calm sea, off Guatemala, when over my couch—a coil of rope—I saw
the beginning of a fiery red sunrise on one side and the moon looking
like a silver coin on the other."[16]
