02 Storage
Here in these pallet boxes, the scientists store many of the water samples that will go home to be tested.
Loading the Ship
The scientists and crew loaded the ship in San Diego. Then, the ship sailed to Tahiti and many of the scientists flew to meet it there a couple weeks later. In Tahiti, everything got restocked, and then everyone departed for the science cruise in the beginning of December.
