Deep Partners

June 30, 2013

Filmaker and explorer James Cameron (left) presented an amazing gift to WHOI in March: the 24-foot vehicle that a little over a year ago he used to reach the deepest place on Earth. In June WHOI President and Director Susan Avery (center) met with Cameron and his wife, Suzy Amis Cameron as the vehicle departed from the California Science Center in Los Angeles on its way to Woods Hole. “Moving the DEEPSEA CHALLENGER cross-country to its new home at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution provides an opportunity to make the sub available to students and the general public, so they can see it, touch it, and ask questions,” James Cameron said.(Photo by Dave Gallo, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
