About this title

Synopsis

Home to several marine science establishments, Woods Hole, Massachusetts, is ideally situated for studies of the sea. Its proximity to both warm and cold waters as well as commercial fishing grounds, and no doubt its charming land's end location, drew the first marine scientists in the early 1870s. The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) joined an already thriving research community here in 1930. In the seventy-five years since then, it has grown into the world's largest private institution dedicated to research and higher education at the frontier of ocean science. The book chronicles events that led up to the official founding as well as pivotal moments in the Institution's even and a half decades. Extensively illustrated.
