At the Top of Their Field

Mike Gagne (in the basket) and Nate Lavoie (on the mast) from WHOI’s ship operations group work to remove unused cable, mounts, and antennas from the top of the research vessel Oceanus in June 2008. They later installed new mounts for the antennas, including a broadband antenna to provide additional communications capabilities and better Internet access to the crew while at sea.
