Heading Home at Dusk

WHOI’s coastal vessel R/V Tioga steams south through the Cape Cod Canal with Sagamore Bridge in the background, after a day working along the Massachusetts coast. Designed for coastal waters, the 60-foot Tioga is an indispensable component of WHOI’s fleet, often employed in transporting researchers, divers, and technicians to the Martha’s Vineyard Coastal Observatory. It is also used for sampling seawater, deploying and recovering instruments, and taking Summer Student Fellows on an annual day trip. (Photo by Heather Kilduff, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
