On Thursday afternoon, as the clouds were growing larger and more ominous on the horizon, we dropped the ROV off the coast of Cape Hatteras. Before the rising waves and looming squalls forced the recall of the ROV, we discovered a new ship of interest. The condition was such that further research and information is needed to identify the ship and its period.
The evening last night was VERY rough; there were a few times I thought I was going to roll right out of the bunk and a few times I think I went airborne.
But in spite of the conditions, the Nancy Foster continued collecting multibeam sonar scans to look for more areas to investigate. As NOAA can explain it better than I, check out their website to learn more about multibeam sonar scanning and to see a diagram of how it works.
Finding another target of interest using these scans, the ROV was once again deployed with magnificent results. The data is still being analysed so I can't post anything definitive.
But on a personally-professional note, I see a really cool school program here!
