Archaeological Survey And Excavation Continues On The Wreck Site

As the excavation slowly revealed more and more of the wrecks massive timbers, it was carefully measured in and photographed. Apart from the still photos, the project was also kindly donated the loan of underwater cameras linked up to monitors on the surface. A big thank you to Aqua Scan and Abyss for kindly providing us with the use of their cameras for the duration of the project.
