"In ten papers, Odyssey Marine Exploration presents the technology,
methodology and archaeological results from four deep-sea
shipwrecks and one major survey conducted between 2003 and 2008.
The sites lie beyond territorial waters in depths of up to 820
metres off southeastern America and in the Straits of Gibraltar and
the English Channel. Exclusively recorded using robotic technology
in the form of a Remotely-Operated Vehicle, the wrecks range from
the major Royal Navy warships HMS Sussex (1694) and the unique,
100-gun, first-rate HMS Victory (1744) to the steamship SS Republic
(1865) and a mid-19th century merchant vessel with a cargo of
British porcelain. Their study reveals that the future of deep-sea
wreck research has arrived, but also that many sites are at severe
risk from destruction from the offshore fishing
industry."--Publisher's description.
