Image of the Day caption:
A gift from the closed Carnegie Institution's Dry Tortugas laboratory, the 70-foot (21-meter) Anton Dohrn made 40 cruises from 1940 to 1947 for WHOI investigations from the Gulf of Maine to the coast of New Jersey. Heavily timbered and drawing a shallow draft, she was built to work in coral reef country. Long-time marine superintendent Dick Edwards once said it took eight bilge pumps to keep Anton Dohrn afloat in the waters off the northeast coast.
