Historic cruise metadata from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) ships from 1931 to 1998, encompassing cruises from Atlantis, Anton Dohrn, Caryn, Albatross III, Bear, Yamacraw, Chain, Crawford, Aries, Gosnold, Atlantis II, Asterias, Lulu, Albatross IV, Knorr, Oceanus, and Atlantis (AGOR-25) ships. More information about the cruises and ships referenced is available from the WHOI Data Library.

This metadata was collected and is maintained in a Lotus Notes database. The Data Librarian has exported this data, and applied some data clean-up, such as applying consistant formats to dates, organizations, and location names. However, some of the information is ambigious and would not be ideal for all applications. It is advisable to fork this repository and filter the data based on the quality that you need. As our metadata is refined through further research, I will add it to this repository.

As realted data materials are avilable, I will update this section with links and references.
