caption_attribution_description: English: The GSI Mariner, a former seismic survey ship, on the banks of the Mackenzie River's east channel south of Inuvik, NT, Canada.
context_page_description: GSI Mariner is a Canadian research/survey ship. She was built and used originally by Geophysical Service Inc. to record seismic data on the Mackenzie River delta and the Beaufort Sea in the Arctic Ocean. Later she was owned by other companies, including Halliburton Canada. She is currently beached on the banks of the Mackenzie south of Inuvik, near the beginning of the Tuktoyaktuk Winter Road.
  GSI Mariner was built in 1971 in Edmonton, and taken up in sections to Great Slave Lake later that year to be launched onto the Mackenzie. GSI ran surveys and did seismic research with her during the summers and beached her over winters, voyages that continued as Halliburton took over GSI and then after the company was reincorporated. Whether she will sail again is not known.
