The circumnavigation of the continents of North and South America, for long a navigator’s dream, was accomplished in 1970 by the Canadian Scientific Ship “Hudson” as part of Canada’s commitment to the International Oceanographic Decade, a project of UNESCO. Here is the ship’s log, detailing the many kinds of research in which the “Hudson” engaged.
