Miscellaneous
VIMS acquired the R/V Pelican in 2003. Generous donations from private individuals allowed the vessel to be redesigned and outfitted to support a variety of research activities. This vessel has successfully served as a coring platform vibracoring the surf zone, in seismic surveys along the Atlantic coast, and in numerous buoy deployments and recoveries. The R/V Pelican has served as a floating classroom allowing educators an opportunity to involve large groups of students directly in marine science fieldwork.

Miscellaneous
The RIV Bay Eagle was built at Crown Point, Louisiana, in 1980 as a crewboat designed to ferry personnel and supplies to oilfield platforms. This boat was converted to a research vessel by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) in 1987. It has performed scientific missions throughout the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries and along the continental shelf of the Mid-Atlantic Bight.
This guide has been compiled to outline the procedures, capabilities and safety standards under which research is planned and carried out aboard the R/V Bay Eagle.
