Image Of the Day caption:
John F. Kennedy was president and summering in Hyannisport on Cape Cod when this photo of the original WHOI dock was taken in 1962. Pictured are four WHOI research vessels (from left): R/V Chain (blue hull), the original R/V Atlantis, R/V Gosnold (blue hull), and R/V Bear. A parking lot occupies the space where the Redfield Laboratory stands today and the Steamship Authority train depot just visible at right today is a bus terminal. Dyer's dock sinks into the water to accommodate a sea planefor 25 years beginning in 1945, WHOI maintained five planes for meteorological, marine mammal, coastline, and other observations.
