TAMPA - The Florida Aquarium introduced a new floating classroom this morning.
Three times the capacity of the previous boat, the catamaran will allow passengers to see bird sanctuaries, wild dolphins and other native marine life.
The 72-foot long boat has two decks, one fully enclosed and air-conditioned, with three flat-screen televisions for video presentations. Large windows allow for better viewing. The top deck is partially covered.
Jackie Pries, a long-time benefactor of the aquarium, christened the boat this morning.
