This week, the Relentless (a.k.a Gordon Gunter) was in Boston Harbor, tied up at the US Coast Guard Station near Battery Wharf. Every so often, when I see a new ship visiting Boston Harbor, I like to check it out and learn a little bit more. It turns out that the Relentless is a ship used by the government for marine surveillance, particularly as it relates to studying marine life. The ship was named for a marine scientist. Here is a link from the NOAA with some additional information about this vessel.
