Meet the 90-year-old R/V Robert Gray

from Power and Motoryacht Podcast · host Power and Motoryacht

Back in 1936, the U.S. built a one-of-a-kind survey vessel. The R/V Robert Gray was the first diesel-electric hybrid of her kind in the world. Today, she's been reborn for adventure excursions and scientific expeditions thanks to Charleston, South Carolina's Voyager's Club. Step into the vintage galley for a fascinating and inspiring conversation with her captain Davis Alford, and owner Leila Davenport Ross.
