摘要：	Humankind is committed to a never-ending quest for food, clothing, and shelter. To that list we should add data. To that end, the construction of vessels designed to gather information continues. Midship Marine, Harvey, La., is due to begin construction on a 65′×24′×4.6′ aluminum research and educational catamaran. Designed by Australian-based Incat Crowther for the University of Wisconsin-Superior Lake Superior Research Institute, it will operate as part of the university's research and education system. The vessel will "not only provide educational opportunities, but it will also advance scientific research on Lake Superior," Dr. Matthew TenEyck, director of the Lake Superior Research Institute (LSRI), said when the project was announced in 2019. The planning phase for the 65-footer began in 2019 with a $1 million anonymous grant to LSRI to bring a new floating classroom and research program to campus. But that was just the beginning. The catamaran is being completely constructed and equipped using private funding. LSRI operated the L.L. Smith Jr. research vessel and program from 1978-2012. The new 65' floating classroom will be state-of-the-art and allow for more passengers and a formal platform to make the boat available to educators or researchers from any discipline anywhere around the world.
