For more than a century, a collection of orange cup coral skeletons bided their time in the Smithsonian’s archives. The corals were acquired off the U.S. West Coast by the crew aboard the R/V Albatross, a steam-powered, cast iron vessel and the first ship built specifically for marine research by any government.
