Image Of the Day caption:
R/V Knorr returned to Woods Hole on December 16 after its final cruise as a member of the U.S. oceanographic fleet to a group of holiday-themed well-wishers. Since 1970, Knorr has traveled nearly 1.4 million miles in the service of science and was present for some of the most iconic discoveries in ocean exploration. In 2015, the vessel's responsibilities will transfer to a new ship, R/V Neil Armstrong. Named for the American hero whose "giant leap" provided humanity with a new perspective on our planet, the ship will carry on its namesakes, and the Knorr's, legacy of exploration and discovery.
