Sub bottom
profile was done on the wreck to pin point exactly where the 3 solution
holes are, that need to be investigated. We are using state of the
art sub bottom profiling technology that is called a chirper system. This
system sends many acoustic signals, sounding like a "bird chirp"
to the bottom; measuring the depth of the sand down to the original
reef coral line structures having been buried as sand migrates
southerly, from river estuaries along the eastern seaboard. This
technology was originally designed to locate anti-personal mines
underwater for naval seal amphibian landings. It is our plan to use this
map to more accurately point point - then excavate for the main cultural
deposits (motherlode) of our near shore historical mid 17th century
shipwreck site. |
