A Sub Goes to Washington

On June 11, explorer and director James Cameron took his submersible DEEPSEA CHALLENGER to Washington, D.C., as part of a cross-country tour ending in Woods Hole. While in the nation’s capitol, Cameron and WHOI President and Director Susan Avery testified before a Senate sub-committee about the importance of ocean exploration and observation and also spoke with groups of students and adults about the sub.
