To celebrate the testing of the new long core system, Woods Hole artist Joan Lederman created a urn that was "signed" by cruise participants onboard Knorr and then fired. Lederman is known for her singular pottery, which is glazed with seafloor "muds," given to her by WHOI seagoers. She donated the urn to WHOI. "I wanted to salute those who calculate risks, fund experiments, and put their skills on the line, apply all intelligence to implementation, and then accept the outcomes," she said. (Joan Lederman)
