The 87-foot exploratory vessel John R. Manning, constructed by the Puget Sound Boat Building Corp. for the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, was driven by a 6-cylinder, 11 1/2" x 15" Washington Iron Works diesel engine delivering 300hp at 325 rpm. Based in Honolulu, the ship made extensive explorations into the central Pacific.
