Abstract

The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) was founded in 1930, and throughout its history has had a strong involvement in research into the science and applications of sound in the ocean. In terms of a brief history, three eras stand out: (1) pre-WWII, (2) WWII, and (3) the postwar years. Though the most colorful pictures and stories come from the war years, the other two eras also hold much interest. Many of the names associated with research at WHOI also commonly appear associated with other laboratories, and the interplay between various institutions is a fascinating part of the history. Personal reminisces, technical report details, photos, audio, and even some video records will be presented, courtesy of the WHOI Archives.
