Marine Archaeology
We have a team of leading marine archaeologists who hope to locate Shackleton’s lost Endurance ship. The 44m long sailing vessel journeyed into the southern regions of the Weddell Sea. The ship has still not been found.
This will be the first search for Endurance that will deploy AUVs in search of the vessel. The AUVs can reach sites up to one hundred miles away from the ship, which now means that the crew may be able to locate the ship even in extremely difficult sea ice conditions. With the AUVs and detailed measurements of the ships location in 1915 taken by Captain Frank Worsley, the marine archaeologists hope to locate Shackleton’s lost ship.
