R/V Lookdown is a 27-foot Boston Whaler Guardian, formerly a U.S. Coast Guard port security boat. After being transferred to the NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office in 2005, an enclosed climate-controlled sonar laboratory was added to enable sonar surveys. This configuration was used for three years before being more extensively modified in 2008, including repowering with new outboards, adding a cabin that houses the helm and sonar operations, and incorporating new bathymetric side-scan sonar systems. R/V Lookdown is the Office's primary platform for hydrographic surveys in support of habitat assessments and bottom substrate classifications.
