USS Aquamarine, Patrol vessel in Irvington, United States
The USS Aquamarine maintains its steel construction with teak decks, divided across seven watertight compartments for enhanced structural integrity and safety measures.
Originally launched as Siele in 1926 by Pusey and Jones Corporation, the vessel served the Naval Research Laboratory for acoustical research during World War II.
The vessel contributes to maritime education by demonstrating naval architectural developments and military vessel adaptations from the early twentieth century.
Located at Evans Island in Monroe Bay, the vessel underwent extensive restoration work to meet Coast Guard regulations for modern maritime safety standards.
The vessel operated as a special tender to presidential yachts Potomac and Williamsburg, conducting underwater sound propagation research through bubble cloud generation techniques.
