Silver Ships Inc. has delivered an 11-year-old refurbished 48-foot workboat to the University of Southern Mississippi's (USM) School of Ocean Science Engineering. Originally, the Endeavor 45 was built by Silver Ships for the State of Mississippi Department of Marine Resources (DMR) in 2008. Its transformation to an Endeavor 48 research vessel involved careful strategy, design and reconstruction. The vessel is to serve as an offshore research vessel in support of USM’s deep ocean underwater surveys. The improved vessel will conduct testing, maritime research and underwater surveys in the Gulf of Mexico for various private and governmental partners. Silver Ships’ operations are out of Theodore, Ala. (Source: USM 01/15/21)
