Labor of Love

Nathaniel “Nat” Corwin prepares equipment for a chemical analysis of samples in WHOI’s Bigelow Laboratory, circa 1960. Nat was widely regarded for his painstaking analyses of the nutrients in seawater. He retired from the Institution in 1986 but still volunteers in the WHOI Archives, assisting with the documentation of the Institution’s vast historic collections.
