Image Of the Day caption:
The Stars and Stripes flies atop WHOI's former research vessel Knorr. Throughout its 88-year history, WHOI has operated research vessels used by scientists throughout the nation, starting with Atlantis in 1930, the country's first dedicated open-ocean oceanographic ship. During its illustrious 44-year history at WHOI, Knorr took scientists to discover the wreckage of Titanic and unexpected deep-sea chemosynthetic life at seafloor hydrothermal vents. Knorr was retired from the U.S. University National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) fleet in 2014 and is now used by the Mexican Navy. WHOI currently operates three research ships: a modern-day Atlantis, the Neil Armstrong, and a coastal research vessel, Tioga.
