Plans in the works to buy another research vessel for Ohio State University’s Stone Lab
Published: , in Outdoor News
The 37-foot M/V Bio-Lab, a trap net-style boat built in 1947 by the Vermilion Engineering Company is the oldest research vessel in the Great Lakes.
According to a recent announcement, it may be getting company at Ohio State University’s Franz Theodore Stone Laboratory’s dock on South Bass Island, thanks to $2.5 million federal dollars that have been championed by Ohio U.S. Rep. Dave Joyce and U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown. Plans are underway to construct another vessel to provide additional capacity for the education and research programs conducted at Stone Lab during the open water season.
