Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 52, No. 1, pg. 40:
Top to bottom: The trip from Anacortes to Woods Hole began in 2014 when the ship first touched water off a pier at Dakota Creek Industries shipyard. After sea trials and acceptance trials in 2015, Neil Armstrong made its inaugural voyage down the West Coast to San Francisco and eventually to the Panama Canal and the Atlantic Ocean. In Charleston, N.C., it received the bulk of its scientific instruments and also met WHOIs other research vessel, Atlantis, for the first time before sailing to Woods Hole in April 2016.
Image Of the Day caption:
This Saturday, June 25, is the day for the public to come help welcome R/V Neil Armstrong. The nation's newest research vessel will be on display at the WHOI dock from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Admission is free and there will be plenty for the entire family to enjoy. Speak to scientists and crew, see Alvin and SharkCam, and learn more about ocean science and how the ocean helps support life on Earth. More information, including how to get here is available online.
