On August 25, 1981, the Voyager 2 photopolarimeter system observed a stellar occultation by Saturn's rings. We present a brief description of this experiment along with details of of the data reduction. The occultation results are given in tabular and graphical form at a resolution of 60 km. Histograms of the frequency of optical depth show dominantly unimodal distributions in each of the classical ring elements. The frequency distribution of the entire ring system shows three modes at tau ‰ 0.08, tau ‰ 0.5, and tau ≳ 2.50.
