A brief overview of the main historical events that accompanied the formation and establishment of the Laboratory of Oceanology in the Academy of Sciences in 1941 is given. Then, a few years later, the Laboratory was transformed into the Institute of Oceanology, the director of which was appointed the Minister of the Merchant Fleet of the USSR, Academician P. P. Shirshov. By his initiative in 1949, the Institute became the owner of its first large research vessel "Vityaz". It is shown that the entire history of the institute and its research team was primarily based on the development and generalization of the results of regular sea and ocean expeditions. The article provides general information about the results obtained in the recent past, and their development and deepening in the works of the institute at present.
