While near the Dry Tortugas, the
TSPS acquired a couple of stow-aways.
Pictured here are a couple of pelicans
who decided to drop in for a visit.
The picture on the right is that of an
injured pelican who had a compound
break in his right leg. The expert
medical staff including the ships
doctor, Dr. Cappobianco, quickly
went to work and supplied the
pelican with a cast.
