Abstract

Photograph, taken in March, 1989, of R/V [Research Vessel] Gyre docked at a port. In the photograph, R/V Gyre is seen as a large ship, painted red and white. An American flag and a Texas state flag are flown at the top of the ship. The words "Gyre" and "Galveston" are painted on the starboard [right] side of the ship. The photograph shows the rear of the ship where three people are pictured working on what appears to be an Ekman-Birge grab device, used for taking sediment samples of the seafloor. R/V Gyre was built for the U.S. Navy and entered service in 1973. R/V Gyre was leased to Texas A&M University's School of Oceanography which utilized it for scientific research until it was sold in 2005 to the private research and service company TDI-Brooks.
