World’s most advanced marine research boat visits Brooklyn
OceanXplorer is a science lab and floating Hollywood media production studio
It silently pulled into Brooklyn Bridge Park’s marina. At first glance, it appeared to be a Destroyer, or perhaps another type of warship. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the most advanced marine research and media vessel in existence.
The ship, dubbed OceanXplorer, is both an advanced research and science lab and a floating Hollywood media production studio, and will make it possible to stream groundbreaking scientific news to audiences worldwide.
Fresh off a mission in the Red Sea, where the OceanX team studied climate change resilient “super” corals, they made a brief pitstop in Brooklyn before leaving for the Caribbean, where they will begin filming a new television series co-produced by OceanX, BBC Studios and James Cameron for National Geographic (working title Mission OceanX).
