03/30/2012,02:15:35,okeanosexplorer,This is a live update from NOAA Okeanos Explorer.  This is John Doroba speaking.  The local EX time is 2015 hours.  We are conducting multibeam mapping operations near DeSoto Canyon in the Northern Gulf of Mexico. The present water depth is 960m. 
03/30/2012,11:53:58,danwarren,Good morning everyone!  
03/30/2012,11:54:15,Tim Shank,Good morning Dan
03/30/2012,11:55:03,danwarren,Let me know when you all are ready for the conference call.  How is the weather out there?
03/30/2012,11:55:37,kimfaulk,good morning gentlemen
03/30/2012,11:57:42,danwarren,good morning Kim
03/30/2012,12:00:46,Tim Shank,Good morning. 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 #10 of this dive program.  We are diving this morning on an unexplored shipwreck, known as Site 407.  Site 407 was initially located in 2009 with the NOAA Eagle Ray AUV.   It is unknown at this time whether Site 407 represents a significant historical resource.  It is also unknown whether the multibeam data over the site is showing local depressions caused by associated debris, or whether these depressions are artifacts in the data.  An archaeological ROV dive over this site would assist in determining the preliminary potential for the site to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places.  The target depth is 285m and we expect to be on bottom 15 minutes once descent of the vehicles begins.  We are launching the vehicles north of the site.  Thank you for joining us.
03/30/2012,
03/30/2012,12:07:12,kimfaulk,Tim you have a great signal on the web connection at least.  we'll wait for WHOI to get the conference call started
03/30/2012,12:07:27,Tim Shank,Thank you Kim.

03/30/2012,12:15:38,Tim Shank,Surface current is from west to east here.  We will get down to the bottom and assess the currents there- target depth is 285m
03/30/2012,12:17:56,Tim Shank,Currents less than a half a knot coming out of 220.
03/30/2012,12:18:38,Tim Shank,Seirios in water
03/30/2012,12:20:13,Tim Shank,Conference call started - please call in.
03/30/2012,12:21:44,Tim Shank,Descending to 50m and then will hold there.
03/30/2012,12:22:42,Tim Shank,At 50m.
03/30/2012,12:24:08,Tim Shank,12 minutes to the bottom
03/30/2012,12:24:43,eleanorbors,Good morning!  This is Ellie at MIT.  I'm getting set up and am going to try to call into the conference through skype. 
03/30/2012,12:25:12,Tim Shank,Good morning Ellie.
03/30/2012,12:25:54,Tim Shank,Depth is 100m water temp - 21.6Ç
03/30/2012,12:27:30,kimfaulk,Tim can we switch the streams over to the ROVs?  We are still getting the surface deck feeds
03/30/2012,12:28:04,Tim Shank,Thanks Kim!  Sorry, thought we had switched these over.
03/30/2012,12:28:22,kimfaulk,no worries.  I figured you thought it had already happened.  Looking better now.  Thanks!

03/30/2012,12:43:26,eleanorbors,FSH 
03/30/2012,12:44:45,Tim Shank,According to the pilots , there is some current -current is coming from the W or just north of W - not sure how strong- doesn't look like much.  Discussion of how to improve visibility using Seirios lights….

03/30/2012,13:27:39,kimfaulk,actually - technically there is - this one
03/30/2012,13:27:45,frankcantelas,could these depressions be pock mars caused by methane release? any thoughts
03/30/2012,13:28:24,Tim Shank,Bob, your thoughts on this?  Don't look like expulsion depressions to me.
03/30/2012,13:28:25,danwarren,possibly but also could be from fsh
03/30/2012,13:28:29,kimfaulk,they are smaller and lighter in color than the ones I'm used to seeing
03/30/2012,13:28:38,amandaevans,If you have subbottom data at this area you can look for gaseous sediments or faults in the near surface that could be related to gas or pockmarks.
03/30/2012,13:29:01,robertcarney,do get outgassing even in shallow water.  Seep fauna usually limited to about >450.  Active methane seepage can have bacterial mats even quite shallow
03/30/2012,13:29:35,Tim Shank,Could be older expulsion sites….

03/30/2012,16:41:00,Tim Shank,WE should have until 16:15 today - I can check.
03/30/2012,16:41:23,kimfaulk,he wants you to move down a little bit
03/30/2012,16:42:04,Tim Shank,Thought we would go to imaging targets next starting on the exposed section of the wreck on the SW corner
03/30/2012,16:42:17,kimfaulk,that sounds great Tim.
03/30/2012,16:42:21,frankcantelas,I think we are done here
03/30/2012,16:42:33,Tim Shank,coming down possible cylindrical object 
03/30/2012,16:42:39,Tim Shank,and backing away
03/30/2012,16:43:04,kimfaulk,The wish list that was handed to me by Dan is the bare area on the stern, and then the virtual target you have by the bow that looked like metal, and then the exposed frames and fasteners that were on the port side up by the bow
03/30/2012,16:43:13,kimfaulk,I apparently missed a LOT while on the Leg 3 call.
03/30/2012,16:43:31,danwarren,Tim, apologies, but I have to step out for a little bit.  I have went over with Kim for detailed areas.  Other than the exposed area on the stern that we saw and the metal near the bow, can we look at some of the timbers you saw exposed on the port interior when we were running from bow to stern on the last run down the interior.
03/30/2012,16:44:53,kimfaulk,sounds great Tim!
03/30/2012,16:45:45,Tim Shank,stepping away for 10 minutes….back in a flash- don't want to miss anything….
03/30/2012,16:45:53,kimfaulk,i hear ya!
03/30/2012,16:49:06,frankcantelas,MB shows a gap in the hull on the port side of the stern, just where we were looking at the object 8m off the hull.  This would probably be the section that broke away
03/30/2012,16:49:28,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Hello, I'll be here until Tim is back.
03/30/2012,16:54:53,taylorheylmuric,Pen, your voice is very quiet on the line...can you move the microphone closer to your mouth?
03/30/2012,16:55:45,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Did you hear someone else? I didn't say anything...
03/30/2012,16:55:55,Pen-Yuan Hsing,It is Dave speaking right now...
03/30/2012,16:56:03,taylorheylmuric,Sorry, thought that was you.
03/30/2012,16:56:19,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Yeah Dave is directing right now...
03/30/2012,16:58:22,kimfaulk,Jack?
03/30/2012,17:00:44,Pen-Yuan Hsing,We are almost 2 m off the bottom, SW of the ship's stern.
03/30/2012,17:01:52,kimfaulk,Jack is at Stennis
03/30/2012,17:02:30,kimfaulk,i think he is on the RTS
03/30/2012,17:02:34,kimfaulk,Jack is that correct?
03/30/2012,17:03:33,kimfaulk,ok, well in the meantime Jack do you want to head back up towards the bow to look at the two targets on the port side?
03/30/2012,17:08:03,kimfaulk,stream one is very degraded all of a sudden
03/30/2012,17:08:03,frankcantelas,I2 signal is choppy
03/30/2012,17:08:08,catrionamunro,here too
03/30/2012,17:08:15,craigrussell,seattle too
03/30/2012,17:08:31,amandaevans,Here too. Audio and Video both breaking up.
03/30/2012,17:08:40,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Looking into it...
03/30/2012,17:10:05,Pen-Yuan Hsing,We may have some satellite feed degradation right now because of weather, please standby.
03/30/2012,17:11:31,kimfaulk,we'll be patient and try to see around the pixels.  :)
03/30/2012,17:11:56,Pen-Yuan Hsing,It is apparently raining "cats and dogs" outside.
03/30/2012,17:12:15,amandaevans,That's better than raining fish and frogs, right?
03/30/2012,17:12:24,kimfaulk,or having a gulley washer!
03/30/2012,17:12:38,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Yeah I guess so. :) Though I would like to see it rain fish and frogs.
03/30/2012,17:13:03,kimfaulk,happens in the UK periodically or so the news claims
03/30/2012,17:13:35,jackirion,Guys, I'm going to have to go back to the office.  I'll call in on conference call in about an hour.
03/30/2012,17:14:17,kimfaulk,roger Jack.  Have a safe drive.  we'll try to find something cool in the meantime. :)
03/30/2012,17:14:25,danwarren,Back online and watching.  Kim just filled me in
03/30/2012,17:14:36,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Current heading 116º, alt 1.9 m.
03/30/2012,17:14:41,jackirion,That's likely guaranteed!
03/30/2012,17:15:57,kimfaulk,sorry Dan - I thought you said outside and Jack said outside as well.
03/30/2012,17:16:12,kimfaulk,thanks Dave! 
03/30/2012,17:16:42,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Ship stopped, moving back to double frame area, and image from SED to top.
03/30/2012,17:17:03,Pen-Yuan Hsing,And will try to peek inside. This location is midship.
03/30/2012,17:20:32,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Current alt. is 0.5 m, heading 132º.
03/30/2012,17:20:55,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Starting to image, moving up.

03/30/2012,17:28:29,danwarren,Moving to look at the interior side of the same timbers
03/30/2012,17:33:40,Tim Shank,Sorry folks.  I may be out for a while.  Can see a monitor while I am out.  Will be back as soon as I can.
03/30/2012,17:33:42,amandaevans,No.
03/30/2012,17:34:16,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Alt. 2.1 m, heading 208º.
03/30/2012,17:35:31,kimfaulk,no worries Tim - you have to share the fun once in a while
03/30/2012,17:36:15,kimfaulk,forked structure in center of hull is centered both longitudinally and beamwise within the hull
03/30/2012,17:36:33,kimfaulk,structure is inline with what may be the master couple/doubled frames
03/30/2012,17:38:26,Pen-Yuan Hsing,FSH
03/30/2012,17:38:30,kimfaulk,I'm not seeing any areas that aren't completely covered with anemones on this.  is anyone else?
03/30/2012,17:40:17,kimfaulk,21 meters from the bow and stern?
03/30/2012,17:40:35,kimfaulk,25 meters from the stern rather
03/30/2012,17:40:48,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Look like that centre structure is 21 m from NE point, and 25 m from the SW point of this wreck.
03/30/2012,17:40:48,kimfaulk,21 meters from NE point, 25 m from the SW point
03/30/2012,17:41:03,Pen-Yuan Hsing,We are now looking at opposite side (E side) of the ship.
03/30/2012,17:41:11,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Looks like its quite broken down here.
03/30/2012,17:41:44,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Heading 133º, alt. 2.0 m.
03/30/2012,17:42:28,catrionamunro,lots of SPO and ACN here
03/30/2012,17:42:37,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Dropping virtual target.
03/30/2012,17:42:57,Pen-Yuan Hsing,It will be called "D10-07"
03/30/2012,17:43:20,Pen-Yuan Hsing,D10 is short for "dive 10".
03/30/2012,17:43:21,kimfaulk,thanks Pen!
03/30/2012,17:43:46,Pen-Yuan Hsing,We are now looking at structure "dead centre" of ship.
03/30/2012,17:45:07,amandaevans,I'm liurking in the background but not on the call.
03/30/2012,17:45:13,kimfaulk,kik
03/30/2012,17:45:14,kimfaulk,lol
03/30/2012,17:45:20,kimfaulk,you are a great lurker
03/30/2012,17:45:48,Pen-Yuan Hsing,We are going to do closeups of this centre component, alt. 1 m.
03/30/2012,17:45:54,kimfaulk,these are great.  thanks 
03/30/2012,17:47:11,kimfaulk,dan you might be right - these could be pumps.  frank can you see it better in your high res?
03/30/2012,17:47:22,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Moving up.
03/30/2012,17:47:32,taylorheylmuric,Taylor signing off at WHOI and handing it over to Cat.
03/30/2012,17:48:56,danwarren,Is that a knee?
03/30/2012,17:49:07,kimfaulk,kind of looks like it sticking up
03/30/2012,17:49:20,kimfaulk,its in a weird orientation if it is
03/30/2012,17:50:07,kimfaulk,looking at interior section of western possible master couple
03/30/2012,17:50:09,Pen-Yuan Hsing,We are now looking at master couple, W interior of ship.
03/30/2012,17:50:33,kimfaulk,i wonder if the anemones kept the shipworms off?
03/30/2012,17:51:01,Pen-Yuan Hsing,ACNs do sting...
03/30/2012,17:51:15,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Zooming in.
03/30/2012,17:51:30,kimfaulk,good point - I forgot the ACN's fight back
03/30/2012,17:52:43,kimfaulk,is that ballast or metal at the base? 
03/30/2012,17:53:08,kimfaulk,it doesn't look like wood
03/30/2012,17:53:26,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Imaging items near its bottom.
03/30/2012,17:53:37,catrionamunro,is that a COR?
03/30/2012,17:54:21,Pen-Yuan Hsing,FSH
03/30/2012,17:54:28,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Waiting for dust to settle.
03/30/2012,17:54:35,kimfaulk,is that a turbnbuckle?
03/30/2012,17:54:47,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Looked like a COR.
03/30/2012,17:55:20,kimfaulk,dang fish hates us
03/30/2012,17:55:21,danwarren,or he thinks little hercules is cure
03/30/2012,17:55:25,catrionamunro,HYD
03/30/2012,17:55:26,danwarren,cute
03/30/2012,17:55:34,kimfaulk,lol
03/30/2012,17:55:53,danwarren,That also could be chain plate remnant
03/30/2012,17:56:03,kimfaulk,could be - looks pretty corroded
03/30/2012,17:56:09,kimfaulk,seems small
03/30/2012,17:56:56,catrionamunro,COR paramuricea(?) is the first coral I believe we have seen here for a while, given the abundance of ACNs
03/30/2012,17:56:57,Tim Shank,Did you image that soft coral?
03/30/2012,17:57:13,kimfaulk,good eyes Dan!
03/30/2012,17:57:39,kimfaulk,we imaged the metal strap the coral was sitting on.  will that work for you Tim?
03/30/2012,17:57:40,Pen-Yuan Hsing,No the ROV moved on, but I would very much to take a look at the COR.
03/30/2012,17:57:58,Pen-Yuan Hsing,This is a good angle for the COR right now.
03/30/2012,17:58:02,catrionamunro,SER
03/30/2012,17:58:33,danwarren,sure I am ok with that
03/30/2012,17:58:59,kimfaulk,pretty clean drift pin
03/30/2012,17:59:23,frankcantelas,think its copper?
03/30/2012,17:59:27,kimfaulk,no corrosion product, I'm thinking lower hull fastener - maybe bronze?  or copper
03/30/2012,17:59:43,Pen-Yuan Hsing,TUB?
03/30/2012,17:59:46,catrionamunro,SER 
03/30/2012,17:59:48,Pen-Yuan Hsing,SER
03/30/2012,17:59:48,catrionamunro,I think
03/30/2012,18:00:01,amandaevans,The first pin appears to taper at the top.
03/30/2012,18:00:04,kimfaulk,another pin right there - i think these are copper or bronze - pretty clean
03/30/2012,18:00:09,danwarren,hard to tell if isi iron or copper.  I think it is in a knee timber
03/30/2012,18:00:58,kimfaulk,iron should be corroded at this point though and be fairly heavily colonized
03/30/2012,18:01:05,danwarren,yellow fin tips on fsh
03/30/2012,18:02:17,catrionamunro,Thank's Kim
03/30/2012,18:02:22,catrionamunro,*thanks even
03/30/2012,18:02:23,kimfaulk,any time.  :)
03/30/2012,18:02:52,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Thank you!
03/30/2012,18:03:28,Pen-Yuan Hsing,HYD on COR.
03/30/2012,18:03:31,kimfaulk,its my job.  wouldn't want to cut you out of the fun!
03/30/2012,18:03:36,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Closeups of it.
03/30/2012,18:03:47,catrionamunro,Tim, do you have an idea of what this coral is?
03/30/2012,18:03:52,danwarren,he is not camera shy
03/30/2012,18:05:06,Pen-Yuan Hsing,That looks better.
03/30/2012,18:05:07,catrionamunro,I have read that some fish really like the lights, but others really don't. Makes abundance counts rather biased!
03/30/2012,18:05:53,catrionamunro,lots of HYD on one branch
03/30/2012,18:06:27,Tim Shank,Not sure.  two of same kind here.  Looks like zoanthids on coral skeleton- see polyps on main stems
03/30/2012,18:06:48,erikcordes,not sure here either. Andrea stepped out...
03/30/2012,18:06:58,erikcordes,i don't recognize it. 
03/30/2012,18:07:12,Tim Shank,Not sure- need better monitor from where I am…. will look at close up stills
03/30/2012,18:09:02,Pen-Yuan Hsing,You can hear the rain in the control room.
03/30/2012,18:09:05,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Zoom in.
03/30/2012,18:09:22,catrionamunro,WHOI video very choppy currently
03/30/2012,18:09:26,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Heading 358º
03/30/2012,18:10:50,Pen-Yuan Hsing,FSH
03/30/2012,18:11:29,danwarren,did the call drop
03/30/2012,18:11:58,Pen-Yuan Hsing,0.5 m alt.
03/30/2012,18:11:59,danwarren,call dropped out
03/30/2012,18:12:06,kimfaulk,WHOI can you hear the vessel on teh RTS?
03/30/2012,18:12:08,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Can you hear Dave?
03/30/2012,18:12:18,danwarren,negative pen
03/30/2012,18:12:19,kimfaulk,we cannot hear the vessel via the call
03/30/2012,18:12:21,kimfaulk,we can hear him online
03/30/2012,18:12:28,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Close ups of a circular hole.
03/30/2012,18:12:31,kimfaulk,I can see that hole.  good eyes Dave
03/30/2012,18:12:45,Pen-Yuan Hsing,OK, please standbye. I'll talk to video folks.
03/30/2012,18:12:49,kimfaulk,thanks Pen
03/30/2012,18:13:04,kimfaulk,doesn't looks like there is any corrosion around it Frank
03/30/2012,18:13:12,kimfaulk,great image 
03/30/2012,18:13:13,amandaevans,no staining
03/30/2012,18:13:51,Pen-Yuan Hsing,ROV video checking into audio now...
03/30/2012,18:13:52,Tim Shank,Pen, if conference call is down, suggest everyone hang up and let WHOI restart the call- then people can back in a few minutes.  Have the EX call in after WHOI connects/starts the call.
03/30/2012,18:14:07,kimfaulk,we can do that.  Just let us know Pen
03/30/2012,18:14:43,kimfaulk,ok we can all get off the line.  WHOI are you ready to restart?
03/30/2012,18:14:53,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Yeah let's reboot the call now.
03/30/2012,18:15:03,kimfaulk,just let us know when WHOI restarts
03/30/2012,18:15:14,Pen-Yuan Hsing,OK.
03/30/2012,18:16:09,catrionamunro,we have restarted now
03/30/2012,18:16:10,Pen-Yuan Hsing,@WHOI: Let me know when the call is setup.
03/30/2012,18:16:13,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Oh OK.
03/30/2012,18:16:26,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Call restarted, please call in.
03/30/2012,18:17:21,Pen-Yuan Hsing,ROV heading 340º, alt. 1.2 m.
03/30/2012,18:18:11,Pen-Yuan Hsing,The ship lost the phone connection! Please standby while we re-establish...
03/30/2012,18:18:42,kimfaulk,standing by
03/30/2012,18:19:02,kimfaulk,great imagery guys!
03/30/2012,18:19:10,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Thank you for your patience, please stay with us. We are still imaging the same area.
03/30/2012,18:19:21,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Lasers 10 cm apart, heading 347º, alt. 0.9 m.
03/30/2012,18:20:23,kimfaulk,ceiling planking Frank?
03/30/2012,18:21:22,Pen-Yuan Hsing,There is a shore side outage that made us lose the phone connection, we may have to stay with the chat for now.
03/30/2012,18:21:39,kimfaulk,roger
03/30/2012,18:21:41,kimfaulk,sorry Pen
03/30/2012,18:22:22,Pen-Yuan Hsing,The techs are working on it. You can still hear Dave through the video, right?
03/30/2012,18:22:28,kimfaulk,we can indeed
03/30/2012,18:22:33,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Great.
03/30/2012,18:22:41,kimfaulk,that looks like ballast stone
03/30/2012,18:22:53,catrionamunro,FSH
03/30/2012,18:22:58,kimfaulk,maybe the ballast shifted during sinking?
03/30/2012,18:23:07,kimfaulk,it all appears to be to one side
03/30/2012,18:23:11,danwarren,Can we see what shape the ballast is
03/30/2012,18:23:20,danwarren,yes except on pidgin
03/30/2012,18:23:28,kimfaulk,Pen can you let Dave know that we only have Pidgin now
03/30/2012,18:23:48,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Standby.
03/30/2012,18:23:57,kimfaulk,will do
03/30/2012,18:24:16,danwarren,Pen there is iron staining there can we look at that
03/30/2012,18:24:27,danwarren,or was that just glare
03/30/2012,18:24:34,amandaevans,I htink that might be from our lasers.
03/30/2012,18:24:48,Pen-Yuan Hsing,When it clears up we'll look at the staining.
03/30/2012,18:25:12,danwarren,object just above lasers partially buried in sed
03/30/2012,18:25:13,kimfaulk,that is a ton of stainig
03/30/2012,18:25:28,amandaevans,Yeah -- that looks like real staining
03/30/2012,18:25:30,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Will zoom on iron staining just now.
03/30/2012,18:25:59,kimfaulk,those fish are excavating for us!  
03/30/2012,18:26:09,amandaevans,Can you see the coiled shape in the staining to the upper left of the anemone?
03/30/2012,18:26:22,amandaevans,Offscreen now.
03/30/2012,18:27:03,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Can't see anything from here...
03/30/2012,18:27:29,kimfaulk,amanda they are looking now - can you point them in the right direction?
03/30/2012,18:27:58,amandaevans,i think they need to pan down.
03/30/2012,18:28:15,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Yeah ROV is moving there now...
03/30/2012,18:28:19,amandaevans,it was in that larger area of overall staining
03/30/2012,18:28:26,kimfaulk,Pen - Amanda is giving you directions back it
03/30/2012,18:28:39,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Do you see it?
03/30/2012,18:28:45,amandaevans,lone anemone in the lower middle
03/30/2012,18:28:54,kimfaulk,no zoom
03/30/2012,18:28:56,amandaevans,left of hte mound
03/30/2012,18:29:34,amandaevans,pan down please
03/30/2012,18:30:01,amandaevans,little to the left
03/30/2012,18:30:11,amandaevans,all stop
03/30/2012,18:30:22,danwarren,all stop
03/30/2012,18:30:40,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Do you see it?
03/30/2012,18:30:56,amandaevans,go up a bit more please
03/30/2012,18:31:21,Pen-Yuan Hsing,ROV said it is "standard issue anemone and dirt"
03/30/2012,18:31:24,amandaevans,got it
03/30/2012,18:31:38,kimfaulk,ready to move?
03/30/2012,18:31:44,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Anything?
03/30/2012,18:31:47,amandaevans,is there orange staining that they can see
03/30/2012,18:32:01,amandaevans,I'm on the i1 feed, looks like lots of staining in this area.
03/30/2012,18:32:11,kimfaulk,it does looks like a lot of staining.
03/30/2012,18:32:21,kimfaulk,Pen are you guys seeing a lot of rust staining in this area?
03/30/2012,18:32:23,amandaevans,lasers are under what i saw
03/30/2012,18:32:25,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Yeah looks same here.
03/30/2012,18:32:25,kimfaulk,or is the I1 feed?
03/30/2012,18:32:38,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Moving to other rail now.
03/30/2012,18:32:47,amandaevans,i'm also a few seconds behind you in the video
03/30/2012,18:32:55,Pen-Yuan Hsing,OK.
03/30/2012,18:33:02,Pen-Yuan Hsing,ROV heading 50º
03/30/2012,18:33:09,kimfaulk,sorry Amanda - didn't realize you were lagging behind us!
03/30/2012,18:33:32,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Moving towards bow. Please let me know what you'd like.
03/30/2012,18:33:35,amandaevans,no worries.  at least someone else saw the staining and I can stop worrying about my eye sight.
03/30/2012,18:33:49,kimfaulk,your eye sight is fine!  :)  I thought mine was going!
03/30/2012,18:34:20,kimfaulk,i didn't see that staining until the fish passed by
03/30/2012,18:34:27,amandaevans,being able to see anything down here is a nice change of pace :)
03/30/2012,18:34:30,frankcantelas,there was a lot of bright orange staining
03/30/2012,18:34:31,kimfaulk,Pen - have we imaged this section before?
03/30/2012,18:34:51,Pen-Yuan Hsing,hmm not sure, Dave is investigating it
03/30/2012,18:34:55,kimfaulk,thanks
03/30/2012,18:35:02,kimfaulk,sorry - we can't type as fast as we can talk 
03/30/2012,18:35:03,danwarren,Dave are we on port or starboard 
03/30/2012,18:35:23,kimfaulk,looks like rubble? or ballast?
03/30/2012,18:35:32,danwarren,Thanks Pen
03/30/2012,18:35:34,kimfaulk,western side
03/30/2012,18:35:34,Pen-Yuan Hsing,We are on western/port side of ship.
03/30/2012,18:35:39,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Sure.
03/30/2012,18:36:03,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Moving to NE, possible now.
03/30/2012,18:36:06,Pen-Yuan Hsing,bow.
03/30/2012,18:37:35,kimfaulk,is that a pin sticking out?
03/30/2012,18:37:36,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Looking at where lasers are.
03/30/2012,18:37:43,amandaevans,looks like it
03/30/2012,18:37:54,kimfaulk,is that a rounded pin sticking out
03/30/2012,18:37:59,kimfaulk,where the rust is?
03/30/2012,18:38:16,frankcantelas, keelson are we on the centerline
03/30/2012,18:38:18,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Zoom on rounded object.
03/30/2012,18:39:14,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Moving to bow.
03/30/2012,18:39:42,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Heading 73º
03/30/2012,18:39:44,danwarren,Frnk
03/30/2012,18:39:55,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Can bearly hear.
03/30/2012,18:40:06,kimfaulk,looks like ballast
03/30/2012,18:40:15,kimfaulk,Pen you are very soft
03/30/2012,18:40:25,kimfaulk,is that a concretion
03/30/2012,18:40:28,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Same thing from here, everything is very soft...
03/30/2012,18:40:49,kimfaulk,that was probably the keelson Frank says
03/30/2012,18:41:01,kimfaulk,looks like a large concretion
03/30/2012,18:41:10,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Quick zoom on it now.
03/30/2012,18:41:10,kimfaulk,looks like iron staining again around it
03/30/2012,18:41:42,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Probably pretty degraded wood.
03/30/2012,18:42:14,frankcantelas,Hi Nic
03/30/2012,18:42:26,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Looks like ballast.
03/30/2012,18:42:46,danwarren,unless it was cargo? 
03/30/2012,18:43:09,kimfaulk,or it was in ballast heading for a cargo
03/30/2012,18:43:20,Nicolás Alvarado,Hi Frank
03/30/2012,18:43:22,kimfaulk,or isn't a cargo ship at all....hard to know
03/30/2012,18:43:24,kimfaulk,yet
03/30/2012,18:43:25,Pen-Yuan Hsing,swing back and look on centre line now
03/30/2012,18:45:04,Pen-Yuan Hsing,FSH
03/30/2012,18:45:27,kimfaulk,we are still here
03/30/2012,18:45:31,kimfaulk,we just can't talk to you
03/30/2012,18:45:35,kimfaulk,only via chat
03/30/2012,18:45:44,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Yeah, just told Dave,
03/30/2012,18:45:52,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Moving on.
03/30/2012,18:46:06,kimfaulk,Dan - do you want to go look for those clean frames
03/30/2012,18:46:23,kimfaulk,we are giving you the "silent treatment"
03/30/2012,18:46:34,danwarren,Yes can we get some detail on the frames without the anemones here on the bow
03/30/2012,18:46:40,danwarren,pan up
03/30/2012,18:46:46,danwarren,right there
03/30/2012,18:47:01,danwarren,right where the fsh is
03/30/2012,18:47:48,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Going there now, let us know what you'd like.
03/30/2012,18:48:36,Tim Shank,vis great now.
03/30/2012,18:48:38,kimfaulk,let's get some good images on that and drop a virtual target too please
03/30/2012,18:48:57,kimfaulk,over the clean area
03/30/2012,18:48:58,danwarren,that may be the stem post
03/30/2012,18:48:59,kimfaulk,please
03/30/2012,18:49:04,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Dropping virtual target… standby.
03/30/2012,18:49:10,kimfaulk,sounds good gentlemen - thanks
03/30/2012,18:49:14,Tim Shank,Should be a target here already- check
03/30/2012,18:49:37,Tim Shank,same place we imaged the "square object" earlier- just below here.
03/30/2012,18:49:43,kimfaulk,thanks Tim
03/30/2012,18:49:58,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Zoom on open spot.
03/30/2012,18:50:08,Pen-Yuan Hsing,The part that's free of ACNs.
03/30/2012,18:50:40,kimfaulk,good question Dave
03/30/2012,18:50:44,frankcantelas,do we have a breast hook behind th stem
03/30/2012,18:50:56,kimfaulk,i don;t know
03/30/2012,18:51:06,kimfaulk,they can hear you on the RTS though - ask them to take a look
03/30/2012,18:51:13,Pen-Yuan Hsing,ROV asks if it may be copper covering that poart/
03/30/2012,18:51:16,Pen-Yuan Hsing,part?
03/30/2012,18:51:34,kimfaulk,there could be copper sheathing - it would be odd to have it there unless it was a patch
03/30/2012,18:52:05,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Zoom on the other area free of ACNs.
03/30/2012,18:52:13,kimfaulk,Frank - Jack wants to know whether the cylindrical object in the original report was used in teh mosaic or not?
03/30/2012,18:52:21,kimfaulk,he want's to try to find it
03/30/2012,18:53:03,danwarren,are you seeing small nail patterns on timber
03/30/2012,18:53:15,danwarren,sheathing would be mainly exterior
03/30/2012,18:53:17,kimfaulk,I'm not sure - my resolution is too poor
03/30/2012,18:53:52,danwarren,It doesn't look coppered to me.  Anemones do not like to attach to copper sheathing
03/30/2012,18:53:54,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Dave walked out for a moment, he will be right back.
03/30/2012,18:54:15,kimfaulk,maybe lead?  didn't look sheathed to me either though
03/30/2012,18:54:24,kimfaulk,Pen can you call Frank and ask him to check the chat?
03/30/2012,18:54:36,kimfaulk,I don't think he is watching the chat - just listening in on the RTS
03/30/2012,18:54:51,Pen-Yuan Hsing,I'll see what I can do..
03/30/2012,18:54:53,kimfaulk,thanks Pen
03/30/2012,18:55:09,frankcantelas,Tell Jack I don't see it in the mosaic and really have no idea where it is.  It was pretty murky when we did the perimeter.  any suggestions?
03/30/2012,18:55:16,kimfaulk,roger Frank.  thanks!
03/30/2012,18:55:26,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Looks like Frank is in the chat!
03/30/2012,18:55:54,Pen-Yuan Hsing,ROV crew changed.
03/30/2012,18:56:11,frankcantelas,there seem to be many more anenomes than on the AUV pass
03/30/2012,18:56:27,Nicolás Alvarado,is that why its dead air?  Or is it just me not getting audio?
03/30/2012,18:56:49,Pen-Yuan Hsing,The ship lost its phone connection.
03/30/2012,18:56:52,kimfaulk,Frank
03/30/2012,18:56:54,Nicolás Alvarado,thanks
03/30/2012,18:56:57,kimfaulk,we have a plan
03/30/2012,18:57:03,Pen-Yuan Hsing,The techs are still working on it.
03/30/2012,18:57:03,kimfaulk,rather Frank, Pen and Dave, we have a plan
03/30/2012,18:57:09,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Yes?
03/30/2012,18:57:31,kimfaulk,Once we finish looking at these timbers here - and potentially looking for the breasthook (Frank I assume you still want to take a look?) we would like to fly the "starboard"
03/30/2012,18:57:57,kimfaulk,side of the wreck looking down - sort of like the midship transect you flew earlier this morning from pointy end to pointy end
03/30/2012,18:58:02,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Sounds good, just waiting for Dave to reappear.
03/30/2012,18:58:06,Pen-Yuan Hsing,And he is back!
03/30/2012,18:58:08,kimfaulk,perfect.  
03/30/2012,18:58:16,kimfaulk,frank do you want to look for the breasthook?
03/30/2012,18:59:09,kimfaulk,Pen - this is assuming that you imaged the "port" side earlier?  (which I think was the western side).  Dan  - can you confirm?
03/30/2012,18:59:12,kimfaulk,great job Pen!
03/30/2012,18:59:37,danwarren,how much dive time left?
03/30/2012,18:59:49,kimfaulk,4:15 today?
03/30/2012,18:59:54,kimfaulk,or earlier?
03/30/2012,19:00:38,danwarren,I think Dave has it right the area we came up on first is the stern and this is the bow
03/30/2012,19:01:05,kimfaulk,I think so too.  he might have nailed it at first sight this morning.
03/30/2012,19:01:09,kimfaulk,make him an archaeologist too
03/30/2012,19:01:15,frankcantelas,I really want to see if there are any other timbers or planks tied into the stem.  That may or may not be a breast hook
03/30/2012,19:01:22,catrionamunro,Stepping out briefly
03/30/2012,19:01:25,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Yeah I think we will follow the starboard side after here.
03/30/2012,19:01:56,kimfaulk,agreed Frank.  Pen - let's take a closer look behind the stem here for Frank before progressing down the starboard side
03/30/2012,19:02:13,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Just heard that losing the phone connection was actually a planned/anticipated outage, but they are getting it back online asap.
03/30/2012,19:02:18,kimfaulk,the conference call worked for about 20 second
03/30/2012,19:02:25,kimfaulk,roger
03/30/2012,19:02:47,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Will do.
03/30/2012,19:02:48,catrionamunro,I'm back now, let me know if WHOI needs to do anything
03/30/2012,19:02:58,kimfaulk,thanks
03/30/2012,19:03:15,kimfaulk,Frank can you guide them towards what you want?
03/30/2012,19:03:42,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Small red FSH.
03/30/2012,19:04:51,Pen-Yuan Hsing,FSH.
03/30/2012,19:05:35,Pen-Yuan Hsing,ROV heading 283º, alt. 0.7 m.
03/30/2012,19:06:39,kimfaulk,the call works again!
03/30/2012,19:07:06,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Can everyone hear us through the call?
03/30/2012,19:07:20,kimfaulk,I think so.  can you hear us?
03/30/2012,19:07:30,Pen-Yuan Hsing,We hear Frank.
03/30/2012,19:07:39,kimfaulk,dan can you try?
03/30/2012,19:10:05,kimfaulk,do you hear Jack and Dan?
03/30/2012,19:10:20,Pen-Yuan Hsing,No we are only hearing Frank I think...
03/30/2012,19:10:26,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Dave is talking to him right now.
03/30/2012,19:11:09,kimfaulk,ok, sounds like your call has dropped away again
03/30/2012,19:12:04,frankcantelas,Ask jack if he thinks its on the stb side
03/30/2012,19:12:33,kimfaulk,that is what he thinks since you didn't see it this morning to port
03/30/2012,19:12:56,danwarren,sediment build up
03/30/2012,19:13:20,danwarren,this wreck has a lot of sediment deposition
03/30/2012,19:13:40,kimfaulk,guess that makes sense based on its proximity to the Mississippi
03/30/2012,19:13:50,kimfaulk,i am somewhat suprised it doens't have more
03/30/2012,19:14:31,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Some longitudinal beam here?
03/30/2012,19:14:33,kimfaulk,is that a pin sticking out?
03/30/2012,19:14:33,amandaevans,Probably more subsidence than deposition
03/30/2012,19:14:46,Pen-Yuan Hsing,zoom on the pin
03/30/2012,19:14:48,kimfaulk,did you image/target that earlier?
03/30/2012,19:14:57,kimfaulk,thanks Pen!
03/30/2012,19:14:57,Pen-Yuan Hsing,ROV suspects so.
03/30/2012,19:15:15,kimfaulk,thanks
03/30/2012,19:15:22,Pen-Yuan Hsing,We'll do quick snap of this.
03/30/2012,19:15:26,kimfaulk,we have no communication via the phone sadly
03/30/2012,19:15:30,Pen-Yuan Hsing,OK.
03/30/2012,19:15:34,Tim Shank,What are we looking at here?
03/30/2012,19:15:39,danwarren,no I can hear you though
03/30/2012,19:15:54,Pen-Yuan Hsing,A pin sticking out on starboard side I think.
03/30/2012,19:15:59,kimfaulk,framing components with what appears to be a cupric fastener of some kind
03/30/2012,19:16:11,Tim Shank,Thank you.
03/30/2012,19:16:34,kimfaulk,there could be a rove on the other side
03/30/2012,19:16:38,kimfaulk,yes -
03/30/2012,19:16:41,kimfaulk,nice
03/30/2012,19:16:43,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Looks like the pin comes out the other side.
03/30/2012,19:16:46,kimfaulk,catch frank
03/30/2012,19:16:55,Tim Shank,Great shot
03/30/2012,19:17:01,kimfaulk,nice dimensions
03/30/2012,19:17:03,Pen-Yuan Hsing,But looks like they don't align: two pins?
03/30/2012,19:17:07,kimfaulk,1 pin
03/30/2012,19:17:10,kimfaulk,its the angle
03/30/2012,19:17:20,Pen-Yuan Hsing,OK.
03/30/2012,19:17:28,kimfaulk,would have fastened the inner and outer hull components together through the frames
03/30/2012,19:17:39,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Oh I see.
03/30/2012,19:17:40,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Thanks.
03/30/2012,19:17:48,kimfaulk,you are wlecome.  
03/30/2012,19:18:02,kimfaulk,great images!
03/30/2012,19:18:07,danwarren,nice fastener.  Had a phone call just as you started looking at these
03/30/2012,19:18:29,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Yeah we'll look at interior side, and look for a washer.
03/30/2012,19:18:55,kimfaulk,looks cupric based on the corrosion color
03/30/2012,19:19:02,Pen-Yuan Hsing,ROV thinks there is a washer indeed.
03/30/2012,19:19:04,kimfaulk,the washer would be to your right
03/30/2012,19:19:10,kimfaulk,where the growth is
03/30/2012,19:20:22,catrionamunro,HYD?
03/30/2012,19:20:25,kimfaulk,that is lovely!
03/30/2012,19:20:26,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Dave: "looks like there's something square if you follow the shaft"
03/30/2012,19:20:40,Pen-Yuan Hsing,ACNs, SPOs, and HYD.
03/30/2012,19:20:45,kimfaulk,square under the shaft?
03/30/2012,19:20:55,kimfaulk,there is a mortis?  I can't see it on this feed
03/30/2012,19:21:08,kimfaulk,is it a mortis or where a frame has fallen away?
03/30/2012,19:21:27,frankcantelas,don't know
03/30/2012,19:21:44,kimfaulk,was hoping your resolution was clearer.  :)
03/30/2012,19:22:16,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Can see some bare wood just to the left.
03/30/2012,19:22:25,kimfaulk,very interesting
03/30/2012,19:23:53,kimfaulk,I don't see a fastener - do you Frank?
03/30/2012,19:24:53,frankcantelas,don't see one either
03/30/2012,19:26:09,kimfaulk,I think what you are looking for will be lying outside the hull - is that right Frank?
03/30/2012,19:27:27,frankcantelas,I think so
03/30/2012,19:27:40,frankcantelas,just along the edge
03/30/2012,19:30:18,Pen-Yuan Hsing,We are working our way down the exterior of the starboard side.
03/30/2012,19:30:31,Pen-Yuan Hsing,This will be the second pass, looking more closely, find more details and image them.
03/30/2012,19:30:57,Pen-Yuan Hsing,ROV heading 276º, alt. 1.4 m.
03/30/2012,19:31:04,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Moving roughly SW.
03/30/2012,19:33:25,kimfaulk,cool perspectiv
03/30/2012,19:34:32,danwarren,all stop 
03/30/2012,19:35:02,danwarren,can we see right to the lower right of theses frames also
03/30/2012,19:35:05,danwarren,thnks
03/30/2012,19:35:23,danwarren,thought i saw a block but may be edge of broken frame
03/30/2012,19:35:36,danwarren,four fastners
03/30/2012,19:35:38,danwarren,ncie
03/30/2012,19:35:40,danwarren,nice
03/30/2012,19:35:49,kimfaulk,nice square shanke cuprous spikes
03/30/2012,19:35:51,kimfaulk,good eyes dan
03/30/2012,19:36:12,danwarren,there is a deck beam
03/30/2012,19:36:15,kimfaulk,there was something large running right there.  
03/30/2012,19:36:17,danwarren,or where one was
03/30/2012,19:36:20,kimfaulk,yep
03/30/2012,19:36:34,kimfaulk,must be fasteners to either side too but we aren't seeing them on the other frames
03/30/2012,19:36:35,danwarren,can we put lasers on to get distance between spikes
03/30/2012,19:37:23,danwarren,about 15cm roughly ?
03/30/2012,19:37:33,kimfaulk,looks to be about 15cm
03/30/2012,19:37:41,danwarren,that is sweet thanks!
03/30/2012,19:39:31,amandaevans,Kim, Dan, Melanie - I have to leave. Good luck with the rest of hte dive. Thanks to everyone for another great dive today! Okeanos crew is amazing!
03/30/2012,19:39:57,kimfaulk,Thanks Amanda!
03/30/2012,19:40:24,kimfaulk,thanks Dave - that sounds like a great plan
03/30/2012,19:40:54,danwarren,sounds good
03/30/2012,19:42:15,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Current heading 30º, alt. 1.3 m.
03/30/2012,19:45:41,kimfaulk,that's another fastener behind you
03/30/2012,19:48:26,kimfaulk,sounds like a good plan Dave
03/30/2012,19:48:31,danwarren,ok
03/30/2012,19:51:38,Pen-Yuan Hsing,What's this?
03/30/2012,19:51:55,kimfaulk,that is a gun carriage
03/30/2012,19:51:58,harrisonzimmer,what type of fish are these?
03/30/2012,19:52:09,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Interesting...
03/30/2012,19:52:18,kimfaulk,looks like a terrestrial army field piece
03/30/2012,19:52:43,kimfaulk,from Jack:  we want to take a very good look at this thing
03/30/2012,19:52:51,Pen-Yuan Hsing,guess it was on the ship..
03/30/2012,19:52:52,kimfaulk,we'll want good imagery of the reinforcements
03/30/2012,19:52:53,danwarren,I am not sure what this is
03/30/2012,19:52:54,kimfaulk,muzzle
03/30/2012,19:52:55,kimfaulk,wheels
03/30/2012,19:52:58,kimfaulk,carriage
03/30/2012,19:53:04,danwarren,yes
03/30/2012,19:53:28,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Multiple FSH.
03/30/2012,19:53:47,danwarren,field pieces are not shipped assembled.  The are usually unassembled for transport on ship
03/30/2012,19:53:52,kimfaulk,we'll want to see whether or not there is a makers mark visible on the gun - although I doubt it
03/30/2012,19:53:56,Pen-Yuan Hsing,ACNs on the carriage, but not as dense as on the main wreck.
03/30/2012,19:54:26,kimfaulk,ok - null hypothesis - not a field piece dan
03/30/2012,19:54:27,kimfaulk,:)
03/30/2012,19:54:29,danwarren,This could be a type of pump
03/30/2012,19:54:37,kimfaulk,could be machinery dan
03/30/2012,19:54:41,kimfaulk,agreed
03/30/2012,19:54:44,Pen-Yuan Hsing,TUB or SER on the axle?
03/30/2012,19:54:58,kimfaulk,can we come left and look at spokes>
03/30/2012,19:55:07,catrionamunro,SER I think
03/30/2012,19:55:13,Pen-Yuan Hsing,SER, ok.
03/30/2012,19:55:19,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Yeah makes sense.
03/30/2012,19:55:28,kimfaulk,a good fly around on the entire object just like you are doing
03/30/2012,19:55:31,kimfaulk,nice job guys
03/30/2012,19:55:40,danwarren,too small of wheels for a field piece
03/30/2012,19:55:54,Pen-Yuan Hsing,We will complete an orbit of it then come for closeups.
03/30/2012,19:56:03,kimfaulk,maybe - need some dimensions with the lasers when they come back in for close ups
03/30/2012,19:56:26,Pen-Yuan Hsing,OK.
03/30/2012,19:56:38,danwarren,Is the wheel on the rgiht larger than the one on the left
03/30/2012,19:57:08,kimfaulk,sort of looks that way
03/30/2012,19:57:34,danwarren,could be steering mechanism
03/30/2012,19:57:44,danwarren,ships wheel
03/30/2012,19:58:37,kimfaulk,might be
03/30/2012,19:58:47,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Zoom on barrel, spokes, etc. now.
03/30/2012,19:58:47,kimfaulk,will have to wait on the viz to clear up
03/30/2012,19:58:56,kimfaulk,ok - just some good imagery
03/30/2012,19:59:12,kimfaulk,as Dan says this could be anything from a gun to the steering gear to a big fish
03/30/2012,19:59:13,kimfaulk,:)
03/30/2012,20:00:14,kimfaulk,looks like wood
03/30/2012,20:00:18,kimfaulk,nice zoom 
03/30/2012,20:00:26,Pen-Yuan Hsing,15 minutes until departure.
03/30/2012,20:00:46,kimfaulk,roger
03/30/2012,20:01:06,kimfaulk,i think it was innerspace center
03/30/2012,20:01:32,danwarren,Kim,
03/30/2012,20:01:37,kimfaulk,si?
03/30/2012,20:02:15,danwarren,look at chapelle fishing schooners or passch my guess is steering or type of windiess
03/30/2012,20:03:34,kimfaulk,no luck in Paasch
03/30/2012,20:03:38,kimfaulk,could be stearing gear
03/30/2012,20:03:46,kimfaulk,looks like gears
03/30/2012,20:03:49,kimfaulk,fishing net
03/30/2012,20:04:17,Pen-Yuan Hsing,SHI here
03/30/2012,20:04:19,Pen-Yuan Hsing,FSH
03/30/2012,20:04:46,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Looks like the FSH are all snuggled up with it.
03/30/2012,20:04:51,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Sre
03/30/2012,20:04:53,Pen-Yuan Hsing,SER
03/30/2012,20:05:02,kimfaulk,they want to come home
03/30/2012,20:05:36,Pen-Yuan Hsing,coming around, ROV heading 210º
03/30/2012,20:05:40,Pen-Yuan Hsing,alt. .4 m
03/30/2012,20:05:59,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Does the shape of the barrel say anything about it?
03/30/2012,20:06:09,kimfaulk,it could - IF it is a gun
03/30/2012,20:06:13,kimfaulk,if Dan isn't right
03/30/2012,20:06:24,Pen-Yuan Hsing,ok
03/30/2012,20:06:34,kimfaulk,take your time.  let the vis settle
03/30/2012,20:06:35,kimfaulk,we can wait
03/30/2012,20:06:36,kimfaulk,:)
03/30/2012,20:08:06,kimfaulk,thanks for being patient guys
03/30/2012,20:08:13,kimfaulk,its killing all of us
03/30/2012,20:08:18,Pen-Yuan Hsing,:)
03/30/2012,20:08:22,danwarren,That band looks more like a flange 
03/30/2012,20:08:24,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Looks like SED in the barrel
03/30/2012,20:08:39,kimfaulk,AWESOME sonar
03/30/2012,20:09:04,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Very cool indeed.
03/30/2012,20:09:11,kimfaulk,1.54 meters between the wheels
03/30/2012,20:09:19,kimfaulk,1.8 meters rather between wheels
03/30/2012,20:09:36,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Though ROV folks think it is just 1 m?
03/30/2012,20:09:39,kimfaulk,wheel diameter of around 1 meter
03/30/2012,20:09:49,kimfaulk,because of range and bearing
03/30/2012,20:09:53,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Oh ok.
03/30/2012,20:09:57,kimfaulk,eat the fish.  :)
03/30/2012,20:10:01,frankcantelas,the carriage is wrong for a gun, 
03/30/2012,20:10:15,danwarren,See Frank agrees with ime
03/30/2012,20:10:19,kimfaulk,looks wierd.  leaning towards machinery of some sort Frank?
03/30/2012,20:10:50,danwarren,I am thinking ships wheel more sand more
03/30/2012,20:11:15,kimfaulk,haven't seen what I need yet for ship's wheel
03/30/2012,20:11:26,kimfaulk,could certainly be steering gear though
03/30/2012,20:11:44,Pen-Yuan Hsing,zoom on barrel
03/30/2012,20:11:49,kimfaulk,that is a lot of rust
03/30/2012,20:11:57,Pen-Yuan Hsing,SERs on barrel among lots of rust
03/30/2012,20:12:00,kimfaulk,don't look like reinforcements though
03/30/2012,20:13:16,kimfaulk,i don't see trunions
03/30/2012,20:13:25,kimfaulk,what is the circle at the top?
03/30/2012,20:13:27,kimfaulk,or hole?
03/30/2012,20:13:33,kimfaulk,thanks
03/30/2012,20:14:19,kimfaulk,i don't see much colonization along the "axle"
03/30/2012,20:14:24,kimfaulk,i do see rust though
03/30/2012,20:15:02,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Recovery time soon.....
03/30/2012,20:15:06,kimfaulk,roger
03/30/2012,20:16:02,kimfaulk,is that rust all over the wheel?
03/30/2012,20:16:11,kimfaulk,it looks metal
03/30/2012,20:16:50,frankcantelas,did we drop a target
03/30/2012,20:17:08,kimfaulk,1.2 meters?  diameter
03/30/2012,
03/30/2012,20:17:15,Pen-Yuan Hsing,we did
03/30/2012,20:17:22,Pen-Yuan Hsing,it is called "thing with wheels"
03/30/2012,20:17:38,kimfaulk,EXCELLENT!
03/30/2012,20:17:40,danwarren,Pen that is the best description yet!
03/30/2012,20:17:45,kimfaulk,You are NOW officially and ARCHAEOLOGIST!
03/30/2012,20:17:48,kimfaulk,best answer yet
03/30/2012,20:17:49,kimfaulk,:)
03/30/2012,20:18:04,Pen-Yuan Hsing,ROV nav deserves the credit. :)
03/30/2012,20:18:08,kimfaulk,i liked my theory a second ago - i'm reminded of sugar mill gears now
03/30/2012,20:18:11,kimfaulk,ROV nav wins
03/30/2012,20:18:46,kimfaulk,4-5" wide spokes?
03/30/2012,20:18:55,kimfaulk,pretty wide
03/30/2012,20:19:57,kimfaulk,great images guys!
03/30/2012,20:21:28,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Lots of SHIs.
03/30/2012,20:21:37,Pen-Yuan Hsing,Dense SER, too.
03/30/2012,20:22:14,kimfaulk,looks like a FSH found a home
03/30/2012,20:22:32,frankcantelas,can you see how of if it is attached to shaft
03/30/2012,20:22:32,danwarren,what is the silver bject lasers are on
03/30/2012,20:22:37,danwarren,can we zoom
03/30/2012,20:22:46,kimfaulk,silver object?
