Area of Operations: southern slope of Georges Bank, United States, North America, North Atlantic

Dates: August 19, 1975 to August 22, 1975

Chief scientist: Brad Butman

Objectives: The cruise objective was to recover a single mooring on the southern slope of Georges Bank and redeploy 2 moorings at the same site.

Type of Activity: Mooring work

Information to be derived: Time series data

Summary: Arriving on station, we proceeded to make several passes over the mooring with grappling gear. The dragging operation proved unsuccessful and the decision was made to re-evaluate the mooring design prior to redeployment. Ship track: 410 nm (228 km); Moorings recovered: 0; Moorings deployed: 0.
