USGS Research Vessel Polaris Up for Auction

Since 1966, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has been conducting ship-based scientific studies aboard the Research Vessel (R/V) Polaris.  It is bittersweet to announce the end of an era for the R/V Polaris with USGS but an exciting opportunity for yet another page of history to be added to the vessel under new ownership.
