Description:
Photograph taken in the Pacific Ocean around 1950 is an image of Allan Hancock and two others on the Velero IV. Hancock started the construction of Velero IV as a dedicated marine research vessel for the University of Southern California as soon as possible after World War II. National Iron Works in San Diego completed construction in 1948, and she became one of the most advanced research vessels of her time. She was actively involved in research through 1985, ranging from Bodega Bay, California all the way south to Costa Rica. She is currently operated as a charter vessel by Velero IV Charters, LLC, in Edmonds, Washington. The pneumatic A-frame mounted aft, visible here, could be used to haul ocean-bottom samples onto graduated mesh sorting screens. Identifier on back of photo: 6833 8C-3.
