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.

A little surface activity on a rare calm day - a
Seaplane visit by the Pandora Foundation major sponsor NORQEB. |

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.
