2007 Expedition
Thank you again to all of
our 2007 supporters and sponsors!
This summer, we made more
progress toward our goal of locating
the remains of the Bonhomme Richard. In spite of some adverse
weather conditions and the relatively short three days we had
 at
sea, the cruise was very productive
in that we were able to discount two of our five previously
identified targets as being the Bonhomme Richard. We also
visited a third target, which was completely buried by
a sand wave and was not conducive to exploration by the remotely
operated vehicle. It is not unusual for objects on the seabed
to become covered and uncovered due the very dynamic North Sea
environment, but this certainly
adds extra challenges to working in that area. Data
gathered from this cruise has allowed us to further
narrow our search area as we continue moving forward with the
project. We are planning to mount another expedition next summer
to investigate the remaining targets and conduct additional
remote sensing operations, if necessary.
We'll need your support
once again in 2008!
