Approaching Fairbanks Campus
Centennial Anniversary 2015-2017
1959 Research Vessel “Arctic Researcher” – UAF’s 1st Ship
Built by Vic Franck’s Boat Co for $65,000, this unusually expensive
ship was built rugged to withstand being dragged over rocks off Point
Barrow, for the Arctic Research Laboratory at UA
ALASKA’ S FIRST UNIVERSITY

2013 Research Vessel “Sikuliaq” will replace the more than 40year old R/V Alpha Helix; the need for a more capable ship to
operate the coastal waters of Alaska in seasonal ice will allow for
research with respect to climate change and ecosystem dynamics
impacting biological productivity, marine mammals and fish stocks
