Office of Coast Survey staff and crew members from the NOAA ships Thomas Jefferson and Rainier took a time out from normal hydrographic survey operations to help film a video celebrating NOAA’s 200th Anniversary. The Thomas Jefferson met up with the film crew in Chincoteague, Virginia to reenact early hydrographic survey work using lead line and sextant. Across the country to the Puget Sound in Washington the crew of the NOAA ship Rainier also met up with a film crew to demonstrate current hydrographic survey operations and install a tide gauge.
