Title: USNS Mizar (T-AGOR-11)
Description: Photographed circa 1970, by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, for which the ship was operated by the Military Sealift Command. The original caption, received with this photograph under date of October 1970, states: ... The ship has been used to investigate the ocean depths and to locate lost ships and, most recently, to find the site of the scuttled Liberty Ship Le Baron Russell Briggs which sank during August 1970 in 16,000 feet of water about 230 miles off the coast of Florida with 418 concrete and steel coffins of nerve-gas rockets aboard. Official U.S. Navy Photograph, from the collections of the Naval History and Heritage Command.
