| Abstract | : | The Carnegie was a very unusual ship, a nonmagnetic 44-m brigantine schooner designed to conduct surveys of terrestrial magnetism. From 1909 to 1922, in 6 cruises, it navigated a total of 466,000 km and was then kept in storage in its homeport of Washington, D.C., from 1922 until 1927, when the vessel was overhauled and refitted for Cruise VII, a 3-year global cruise dedicated both to magnetism and also explicitly to oceanography. Cruise VII of the Carnegie ended prematurely and abruptly in November 1929 with an explosion during a refueling operation in Apia in the South Pacific. Famous for its tragic ending, little known today is that the cruise was one of close international collaborations and visits. A number of European organizations were involved from the early planning stages, and in equipping the ship. The cruise also included a visit to Japanese oceanographers. For the United States, Cruise VII of the Carnegie was quite possibly the first large-scale oceanographic campaign that relied on international collaboration, and the last until well after World War II. However, shown here is that oceanographers in the United States and elsewhere have long known that oceanography is an international affair. |
