Shipwreck confirmed at 3500ft 200 miles out.....Quality
pics from the ROV.
For those interested in what a shipwreck looks like after several hundred years of sitting undisturbed in 3500 ft of water, here it is...the rocks are river stones used as ballast to help the ship's stability, and the ship's timbers are visible in the background. This particular wreck was covered by about 1-2 ft of sediment, with only a small amount of the ballast exposed before we removed the layer of sediment with a jet pump....tomorrow, we will inspect a different target.
