The rivers themselves are at the center of RiverQuest's education program. The vessel Discovery, soon to be retired from service, is a U.S. Navy vessel originally used to train midshipmen in navigation, refurbished and put into educational service again as a fully operational state-of-the-art floating classroom. A second retrofitted U.S. Navy vessel, Voyager, was retired from RiverQuest service in early 2007. A newly constructed state-of-the art green educational vessel, Explorer, arrived in Pittsburgh in late 2008 and began full service in 2009
