A big part of any oceanographic cruise is the ability to get scientific instruments in and out of the ocean safely. Endeavor’s main working deck is where this often rigorous work happens. The main deck is outfitted with two overboarding frames called the A-Frame and J-Frame. The A-Frame is on the stern of the vessel […]
