This was taken just before (perhaps a day, but not more than 2 days) Atlantis came out of dry-dock on Saturday 12 March 2011 at BAE Jacksonville, FL Shipyard. This picture was taken before the A-Frame Handling System for Alvin was re-loaded onto Atlantis. Atlantis had to be afloat to reload the massive and heavy A-Frame.

On April 23, 2011, R/V Atlantis came out of dry-dock in Jacksonville, Florida, with a fresh coat of paint and a full schedule of science cruises. This picture was taken just before the massive A-frame used to deploy and recover Alvin was re-installed on the stern that, because it is so heavy, could only be attached once Atlantis had been refloated. Alvin is currently undergoing a complete overhaul and upgrade, but that won't stop Atlantis from continuing its work as a WHOI-operated UNOLS research vessel, with upcoming cruises to study geologically active regions of the Pacific and to complete a geochemical survey of the North Atlantic.
