Nathan (left) and Patrick McGuire, sons of WHOI associate scientist Jeff McGuire, welcome R/V Atlantis home to Woods Hole with the Lego models of the ship they made. Both models include miniature replicas of the deep submergence vehicle Alvin. Atlantis returned on Sept. 6 after more than four years away. During that time, it sailed more than 104,000 miles and conducted 60 science expeditions, and Alvin made 475 dives. Also view video and a slideshow of Atlantis' return.
