Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This narrative details the 1893 Bahama Biological Expedition, an educational experiment aboard a converted schooner, the Emily E. Johnson, led by the pioneering zoologist, the author. The book began as a collaboration between scientists and educators as a way to fill the gap between knowledge of marine biology and the accessibility of specimens for study. The narrative includes the planning stages and equipping the vessel with the necessary gear to conduct deep-water marine biology, a relatively novel scientific endeavor at the time. The author highlights the converted ship's equipment and dredging innovations, emphasizing the importance of his experience and the collaborative input received from other notable marine biologists. Following a brief history of Thalassography, then a new scientific pursuit, the author recounts their journey to Havana and the Dry Tortugas. This volume in the Naturalist's Bulletin series illustrates how the voyage was designed to teach practical skills in zoology and biology while also integrating ongoing research in deep-water marine biology, marking an important step in the advancement of this scientific field.
