No Vacancy

Scientific gear and underwater vehicles crowd the fantail of the research vessel Knorr during a 2001 expedition to explore the mid-ocean ridge in the Indian Ocean.  The first-generation remotely operated vehicle Jason rests on the right; its companion imaging and lighting vehicle Medea sits beneath the A-frame. The Argo II towed imaging and mapping vehicle (left) and original DSL-120 towed sonar sled fill the mid-deck.
