Atlantis arrives back in Woods Hole after an a-frame upgrade in drydock to support the new HOV Alvin. The A-frame is the same one delivered in 1983 and it is now upgraded to support up to 50,000 lbs. The A-frame section was upgraded in Jacksonville, FL and the swinging beam section was upgraded in Scotland.
Image Of the Day caption:
It's a longstanding tradition at WHOI that when a ship arrives or departs Woods Hole, folks come out to hail the ship and crew and lend a hand. On a cold Sunday in January 2013, the research vessel Atlantis returned from a drydock in Charleston, S.C., after receiving a new A-frame to lift the heavier, upgraded Alvin submarine. WHOI engineer Rod Catanach was at WHOI, working on Alvin. He put on his coat and gloves to face the 13?F wind chill and helped dock the ship. Atlantis is scheduled to depart at the end of May, with the new Alvin aboard.
