The Ship Report, Tuesday, September 23, 2025

Description
The research vessel Atlantis is at the Port of Astoria
One of my favorite ships is here in town: the research vessel Atlantis. She's owned by the US Navy and operated by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, located on Cape Cod. She's been doing research on underwater volcanoes in the Pacific in recent years. She comes into Astoria occasionally to change crews, pick up supplies, etc.
She's a superstar of a ship, she's been the subject of many documentaries about her and her famous submersible, the Alvin. We'll talk about the ship and about times I have been fortunate to go aboard.
