RV Sea Wanderer

Sea Wanderer is owned by the Wright Oceanographic Institute. Built as a Gaff Rigged, Ocean Going, Iron Hulled Schooner to carry goods between Wright and Krakabloa in the 1890s, it was laid up in 1935, after which it suffered in the elements for four decades, when the institute took it in. It is now a used as a survey and research ship, having discovered several species native to the waters around the islands, and traveling as far as Snowstone mapping the ocean.
It has been heavily modified during its time in WOI service, including an improved engine, solar panels, a telescope, onboard aquarium and research lab.
