The cruise track carried the ship about 200 miles west of Vancouver Island to Ketchikan and north in the Inside Passage to Glacier Bay, including a transect of stations in Cape Spencer. Detailed cruise programs, including dates of sailing, personnel and brief description of the work performed, are given in the appendix. The most ambitious undertaking during the year was a cruise labeled as 'Southern Cross' which went down the Inside Passage to Vancouver, west to Honolulu, Hawaii, east to Port Angeles, Washington, and north through the Inside Passage to Juneau. The total cruise took 55 days. Hydro stations were taken throughout the cruise to support a detailed chemistry program involving thiamine distribution, nitrogen cycling and silica distribution in the water transversed. During this year, our continuing program for work in the Unimak Pass area of the Aleutians was initiated. In all, the ship was at sea 167 days during the first year of operation.
