The RV ENDEAVOR has four interior spaces designated as laboratories; the Main Lab, the Wet Lab, the Special Purpose Lab and the 01 Lab.  All interior laboratory spaces are temperature controlled, air-conditioned spaces and provide the following:

• Work benches with 3/4" sealed plywood tops which readily accept screw eyes and other fasteners for securing of equipment.
• Compressed air, 120 psi (ship's service, not for breathing).
• Ship's intercom.
• Deck bolt downs (3/8"-16) on 2-foot centers except as noted in the Wet Lab.

The RV ENDEAVOR can accommodate a science party of 17 people and 1 marine technician. The majority of science staterooms are located on the first platform deck. A 2-person science stateroom and the Captain's cabin are located on the 01 deck. Rooms are numbered starting from the forward end of the ship, even room numbers are on the port side and odd room numbers are on the starboard side of the ship.

The Research Vessel ENDEAVOR was designed by John Gilbert Associates and was built in 1975 by Peterson Builders, Inc. in Sturgeon Bay, WI. She was delivered to the University of Rhode Island in November 1976. She underwent an extensive major mid-life refit at Peterson Builders, Inc. in 1993. During the refit the ship was lengthened by 7 feet with new and expanded laboratories, a new bridge and chart room added. She is a sister ship of the RV OCEANUS at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the RV WECOMA at Oregon State University. The vessel's characteristics are summarized below:

Rhode Island has a long tradition of valuing the sea, an integral part of our economy and culture. The identity of Ocean State citizens is tied to fishing, marine research, ocean recreation, and marine technology development and manufacturing. As part of this tradition, the state of Rhode Island sponsors the Rhode Island Endeavor Program at GSO.
