Here she is rounding Brant Point-
Not sure what the green apparatus is on her port side-
A closer look. Notice the crew filleting flounder-

The Marine Department has recently added a new boat to it's fleet. She's an inflatable from Provincetown and she looks to be an old Coast Guard boat-
This old wooden trawler-type boat caught my eye today. She's moored on the G row out in the mooring field. Her name is Final Frontier and she's from Annapolis. Is that a fake stack? I'm thinking it is-

The green apparatus on the port side is a crane that folds up for storage so as to not take up so much room.
But what is the crane used for?
I believe she is doing research over at the SBPF project area crane is probabaly used for the tow behing equipt turbidity etc and cameras
That makes sense. Thanks for that, David.
The Crane is used mostly to load equipment such as fishing nets and other scientific equipment.
The vessel is used for ground fish surveys in Mass State Waters and The Gulf of Maine. It is operated by NOAA's North East Fisheries Science Center in Woods Hole Mass.
