This ship is absolutely beautiful. It seems like a ship like this is really sturdy and would be perfect for the military. I wonder how much it would cost to build a ship like this. I know that well built ships like this tend to be really expensive to make, but it is definitely worth it.
Hi Sarah, Dale Crisp here, specialist maritime journalist and writer. Would it be possible to get a hi-res version of this pic – or any of INVESTIGATOR on sea trials – to use in the next edition of the Nautical Association of Australia (www.nautical.asn.au) journal The Log?
Most grateful for any help.
Kind regards
Dale Crisp
PS: Pleased if you could keep us up to date on progress with the SS book, too

Hello Hedley
In 2009 the Australian Government allocated $120 million to build Investigator and she was delivered on budget in late 2014.

The Investigator is simply one beautiful ship. It’s great that there is funding for a research vessel like this.
