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.
