RV Endeavor

RV Endeavor is a research vessel owned by the National Science Foundation and operated by the University of Rhode Island (URI) under a Charter Party Agreement as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) fleet. The vessel is homeported at the Narragansett, Rhode Island at the URI Bay Campus. The 185 foot Endeavor, built by Peterson Builders, Inc., Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, replaced RV Trident in 1976.
