Anchors Aweigh

It’s a tradition to have a band on the WHOI dock whenever a ship leaves for, or returns from, a notable voyage. In the past, a brass band has helped create that festive atmosphere. When R/V Atlantis left recently on what was Capt. A.D. Colburn’s final trip out of Woods Hole as master of the ship, the “Tunes at Noon” traditional music ensemble kept the tradition alive.
