This is a live update from the Okeanos Explorer.  This is Tim Shank speaking.  The local EX time is 0800 hours.  We are preparing to launch Little Hercules and Seirios for Dive #9 of this dive program. We are diving this morning on a site believed to be a shipwreck. Site 15429 was initially located in 2009 with the NOAA Eagle Ray AUV. The collected data shows a potential vessel resting on the seafloor with a potential depression at one end . At approx. 80m long, one end of the site appears to have rather significant relief, and may represent a target for attached fauna. It is unknown at this time whether Site 15429 represents a significant historical resource. Our archaeological ROV dive at this site is assisting in determining the preliminary potential for the site to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Thank you for joining us. 03/29/2012,12:02:05,Tim Shank,WHOI, can you make the conference call please. 03/29/2012,12:05:55,Tim Shank,Good morning Ellie. 03/29/2012,12:06:26,Tim Shank,Hi Ellie, Read you loud and clear.
