A photograph shows a research vessel on a deep blue ocean under a partly cloudy sky. The ship, which has a dark blue hull and a white superstructure, is viewed from the side. It features a tall mast with various antennas, a blue funnel with a white logo, and a large metal A-frame structure at the stern where several people are visible on deck. The number "R8001" and the text "GREAT LAKES" are painted on the stern of the blue hull.
