Abstract
The Large Lakes Observatory operates the largest university
owned research vessel in the Great Lakes, R/V
Blue Heron. Built in 1985 for fishing on the Grand Banks, the Blue Heron was purchased by the University of
Minnesota in 1997, sailed from Portland, Maine, up the St. Lawrence Seaway to Duluth, and converted into a
limnological research vessel during the winter of 1997-98. The Blue Heron has berthing for 11 crew and
scientists, and can operate 24 hours per day for up to 21 days in between port calls. The Blue Heron is part of
the University National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS ), and is available for research scientists on
any of the Great Lakes.
