Engine Details & Mechanical
- The engines were inspected and tested by Detroit Diesel technicians and their documentation indicates that the engines are within 10% of being brand new. Relatively low hours were logged on the engines as the vessel′s use was winding down after her conversion from steam to diesel.
The steam boilers are still on board and could either be used for running large equipment, i.e., huge watermakers, etc., or they could be removed providing a large area for another purpose.

History
Research Vessel ″Atlantis II″, built to United States Navy specification with a grant from the National Science Foundation in 1962, went directly into service in with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution as a member of their research fleet and the national academic research fleet. She followed in the footsteps of the R/V ″Atlantis″, after which a NASA Space Shuttle was named. R/V ″Atlantis II″ served as a model for future generations of research vessels, and housed 25 scientists and as many in crew. Her achievements were stellar.
Her second mission, in 1963, was interrupted when the U.S. Nuclear Submarine ″Thresher″ sunk in 8,000 feet of water and she proceeded to the site where she aided in the search and recorded the first photographs, earning her a commendation from the U.S. Navy.

In 1975, she embarked on a 573 day voyage of roughly 80,000 miles around the world performing marine research and engineering projects, the most mileage per trip of all of the Institution′s vessels. In 1979, she underwent a major refit, converting her power source from steam to diesel, thereby reducing her operating cost, increasing her range of travel, and increasing her selection of ports. In 1983, a deck hangar and A-frame were installed enabling her to handle the launch and recovery of a submersible oceanographic vehicle. She set a record for days at sea in 1992, with 894 days away, 575 days at sea, and 73,097 miles. She was among the first of all research vessels to employ female officers and crew, and to welcome female scientists. She visited 78 nations and over 112 ports, hosting numerous world leaders and dignitaries.

Her most well known achievement was to serve as support vessel for the deep sea, 3-person diving submersible Alvin at the wreck of the R.M.S. Titanic in the North Atlantic in 1984. R/V ″Atlantis II″ arrived with the new towed imaging system Argo developed by the WHOI Deep Submergence Laboratory, where 12 Alvin dives ensued, utilizing deep sea imaging systems and the prototype remotely-operated vehicle, Jason Jr.

She subsequently continued in general oceanographic research, with a focus on biological, geological and geochemical studies of the Mid-Ocean Ridge in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

R/V ″Atlantis II″ was retired from the Wood Hole Oceanographic Institution in 1996. She sailed over a million miles in service on 468 cruises and spent 8,115 days at sea in every ocean of the world. She proceeded to Louisiana, where her stern A-frame for submersible launch and recovery was removed. She was sold to a private U.S. firm for fisheries research, with the approval of the National Science Foundation, and subsequently to a private firm for expedition voyaging. State-of-the-art technologically advanced equipment has been added to further enhance her exploratory capabilities.
