Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 45, No. 3, Pg. 39:
Vessels rendezvous at sea to evacuate an injured mate.
Into the frigid darkness, following two days of stormy weather, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution’s coastal research vessel Tioga left port shortly after 10 p.m. on March 6, with sea spray freezing immediately on its railings and windows. It was headed for a rendezvous with its big-sister ship, Knorr, which had been thundering home since the previous morning, against 35- to 40-knot storm winds and 20- to 25-foot seas that relentlessly pounded its bow.
