Expedition and Internet sources

Two very practical work vessels to house a team of 41, onsite, for a period of seven weeks. The wreck location is remote - at the top of Australia, away from any support facilities - the Expedition has to be fully self contained.

Testing the dredging pumps. Note the Pacific ocean swell that moved the support vessels continuously during their stay onsite.

Substantial combination block/anchor fourpoint moorings are used to keep the "Pacific Conquest" above the wreck site.
