In April 2008, as part of its ongoing “Atlas” shipwreck survey project in the western English Channel, Odyssey Marine Exploration recorded an interesting target using side-scan sonar and a magnetometer. The resultant high-frequency image depicted a clearly disturbed sea bottom across an oval area of 40m, interspersed with linear objects. The 35-gamma magnetometer profile was suggestive of a wooden wreck with features typifying iron anchors, cannon and ship structure. |
