Observation Deck
With the Observation Deck almost 15 feet
above the water, up to 25 people will have the balcony view of the regional
wetlands and of the science classes underway on the Main Deck. With "spotting
scopes" members will also be performing bird counts during the Voyages.
Safety
For close-in maneuvering at the dock or
at sea, the Captain can transfer the controls of the ship to one of three
remote steering stations. The Brownlee is equipped with six, 20-person
rigid buoyant apparatus. The Brownlee will also have a full complement
of 75 adult and 70 child (under 90 lb.) life jackets.
