Image of The Day caption:
In 2007, WHOI geologists retrieved the first sediment cores with the newly installed "long-corer" on the research vessel Knorr. Bill Curry, Jim Broda, and several WHOI colleagues conceived and built the new corer, which at 150-feet is the longest piston-coring system in the United States, nearly twice as long and four times as heavy as existing systems in the research fleet.

Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 46, No. 2, Pg. 15:
The new long-core system on the research vessel Knorr can extract seafloor sediment cores up to 45 meters (150 feet) in length. The core barrel, stowed on the ship’s starboard side (shown here), is repositioned vertically to be lowered to the ocean bottom.
