The R/V Jane Yarn is a 65 foot converted Navy vessel that has been renovated for marine science and education at Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary. The vessel is named after the late Mrs. Jane Yarn, a prominent advocate for protection of Georgia's barrier islands who worked tirelessly to advance the designation of Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary while serving on President Carter's Council on Environmental Quality.
