Facilities 



In the two laboratory buildings at Woods Hole, one of whicli was 

 completed in 1954 by the U.S. Navy and has been occupied by our 

 staff since that time, we have a total of 58,500 square fleet of floor space. 

 These waterfront laboratories furnish excellent working space for our 

 staff but are now overcrowded and our administrative staff, together 

 with much of our specialized electronics work, is poorly housed in 

 temporary structures. The original investment in shore facilities of 

 $325,000 in 1930 was increased by $800,000 by the U.S. Navy in 1954. 

 Scientific equipment valued at over half a million dollars is currently 

 in use by our oceanographers. Much of this is of such a special na- 

 ture that it must be designed by our own engineers and built in our 

 own shops. 



The most important asset of an oceanographic institution in addi- 

 tion to its staff is its research fleet. At present our fleet consists of 

 five deep-sea vessels and two small inshore boats. From time to time 

 these vessels have been supplemented by naval vessels on special de- 

 tail. Logistic support of our expeditions is on occasion furnished by
