VTG PATCH THE JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY CHESAPEAKE BAY INSTITUTE Embroidered Sew on only.. RARE cannot find one like this anywhere!
In its prime, the Warfield served as the floating laboratory for the Chesapeake Bay Institute, a Johns Hopkins research center that led the nation's studies of estuaries for the better part of four decades. Most scientists who passed through CBI spent time aboard the catamaran, which made its celebrated first launch from Annapolis in June 1967.
In 1947, Commander Roger Reville of the United States Navy proposed the establishment of a hydrographic research center on the Chesapeake Bay. The following year, the Navy, in collaboration with the State of Maryland Department of Research and Education, founded the Chesapeake Bay Institute. Since it was to be a research institute, the Navy wanted the Institute to be affiliated with an independent university, and therefore consulted Dr. B. H. Willier
of the Johns Hopkins University Department of Biology as an advisor to the program.
The Navy's original purpose behind the Chesapeake Bay Institute was to obtain physical and chemical information about the Bay and its tributaries in order to investigate classified harbor defense problems and mine and anti-mine warfare.
The records of the Chesapeake Bay Institute (CBI) span the years from 1947 to 1991.
