Scripps Oceanography: Retiring Research Ship
1140 N. Harbor Drive, San Diego, 92101
The San Diego community is invited to an open house and tours aboard the Scripps Institution of Oceanography research vessel Melville at Broadway Pier.
This is the research ship’s farewell as it is retired from the national oceangoing fleet after 46 years of service to generations of ocean scientists. Scripps research ships are rarely accessible to the public due to the scope of ocean research, safety concerns, and intricate instruments onboard.
This rare open house opportunity provides a glimpse into the rigors of research work at sea and the excitement of oceangoing exploration. At the Broadway Pier, Cruise Ship Terminal.
