Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 52, No. 1, pg. 46:
A series of interconnected 30-foot-long metal pipes dangles from the derrick, through a hole in the bottom of the JOIDES Resolution called the moon pool, and into a re-entry cone on the seafloor. Thrusters keep the ship stationed above the hole, guided by an acoustic beacon.
