UW-Superior's new two-level teaching and research vessel, the Sadie Ann, photographed here in Louisiana, set sail for Superior on Aug. 30. Its trip around Florida, up the East Coast and St. Lawrence River, and through the Great Lakes to Superior is expected to take about 40 days.
Matt TenEyck, director of the Lake Superior Research Institute and a priest are seen on the Sadie Ann before it launched on its voyage to UW-Superior’s campus.
Students will be able to go on excursions on the Sadie Ann with their classes, and campus researchers will be able to take it on the St. Louis River and the U.S. waters of western Lake Superior to conduct experiments.
The Sadie Ann’s main deck has wet and dry labs, a moon pool opening and fold-down diving platforms at water level that researchers and students can use to take samples.
