It is the first rock target that Spirit drove to after finishing a series of investigations on the rock Adirondack. White Boat stood out to scientists immediately from the first panoramic image of the Columbia Memorial Station landing site due to its light color and more tabular shape compared to the dark, rounded rocks that surround it. After 6.7 meters (22 feet) of successful driving, Spirit stopped in front of White Boat, and took a new Panoramic camera image using all 13 geological filters. Approved by Steve Squyres.
