R/V F.G. Walton Smith

The R/V F.G. Walton Smith is the University of Miami's research vessel, which we are chartering this month. The boat was named after F.G. Walton Smith, the man who established University of Miami's marine laboratory, and coincidentally was also one of the people who lobbied for the creation of the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park in The Bahamas.
