ABOUT OUR FLEET

The R. V. Klingle - 30' Research Vessel - Named after Mr. Gilbert Klingle, a local noted boat builder and the first person to take underwater pictures of the Chesapeake Bay area.  This is used as our primary research vessel.
  It is equipped with a full compliment of diving gear, along with video and photographic equipment used in taking our pictures of underwater life.  It also carries reserve batteries and a generator to convert and supply power for the electronic equipment. 
The Miss Fitz - 25' Cabin Cruiser - One of our most sturdy vessels, this boat is primarily used in our voyages on the Chesapeake.  It is made of fiberglass, and is diesel powered.

The Snipe - 18' Center Console Fiberglass Outboard - Being the fastest and easiest to transport, this vessel is used primarily for excursions to local tributaries on and around the Chesapeake Bay.  
This gives us a broader and wider scope than our larger vessels can reach for our projects.
The Gray Ghost - 15' Runabout - Although it is our smallest and homeliest vessel, it is the most visible of the fleet.  It stands constant guard over BAYLAB, is lit at night, making it a vital part of our operation.
