Research Vessel Knorr

RV Knorr was a world's leading scientific research ship operated by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution from 1951 to 2010. Designed for ocean exploration, it facilitated key discoveries about marine science, including deep-sea geology, ecosystems, and climate studies. Equipped with advanced technology for data collection, sampling, and underwater exploration, it played a vital role in expanding our understanding of the world's oceans. The vessel's versatility and capabilities made it a cornerstone for long-term scientific projects, collaboration, and innovation in oceanography until its decommissioning and replacement by newer ships.
