Other incidents of note

One engine failed after CTD station 65. The ship continued to station 66 at a reduced speed and attempted repairs. After determining the oil cooling system irreparable, the ship suspended operations and headed for Barbados. A replacement part was promptly shipped and the engine fixed. The ships crew and Harbour Branch personnel made every effort to ensure continuity in the science program by adding 6 days to the cruise and the science program was completed sucessfully.
