Woods Hole of the West? That's what Newport hopes to become - OregonLive.com


Woods Hole of the West? That's what Newport hopes to become - OregonLive.com: "When the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced last month that it would move its Pacific fleet to Newport, the analogy on many lips was Woods Hole, as in Newport is going to be the Woods Hole of the West.

Comparing little old Newport, home to the Hatfield Marine Science Center, to Woods Hole, home to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute in Massachusetts, may seem a pretty big stretch."
