Image of The Day caption:
Columbus O'Donnell Iselin, the second director of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, sees Edmund Watson and others off on a 1950 Gulf Stream cruise aboard a boat called Seal. Iselin, a physical oceanographer who first began studying the Gulf Stream in 1930, wrote a series of classical papers on the physical structure and circulation of the North Atlantic Ocean Gulf Stream. Iselin served twice as the Institution's director––from 1940 to 1950 and from 1956 to 1958.
Caption from Down to the Sea for Science, pg. 92:
Columbus Iselin sees Edmund Watson and others off on a 1950 Gulf Stream cruise aboard a boat called Seal. Iselin appears happiest in photographs taken on or near the sea, and he liked to conduct business on the WHOI pier whenever possible.
