Transportation:The Endless Voyage——First Steps
The earliest attempts to explore the ocean were dangerous forays into a vast and unfamiliar world, led by heroic individuals with little more to guide them than insatiable curiosity and a sense of adventure. The earliest marine studies were driven by practical considerations—travel, trade, warfare and the search for food. An oceanographic vessel today is essentially a floating lab, equipped with the latest computerized technology. It is capable of gathering data from the depths of the world ocean, then communicating with virtually any point, either on land or in the air.
