Join us for a Live Connect with Nautilus from the Great Lakes Maritime Heritage Center’s Theater!
Alongside the E/V Nautilus expedition season, Ocean Exploration Trust is collaborating on an expedition to explore inland waterways of the Great Lakes. This mission is focused on mapping unexplored, newly expanded areas of Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary (TBNMS) in Lake Huron, with a goal of discovering new shipwrecks and identifying shipwreck locations to support ongoing exploration and management. Target areas will be mapped with a multibeam sonar system aboard autonomous surface vehicle (ASV) BEN from University of New Hampshire’s Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping, with the TBNMS Research Vessel R/V Storm serving as the operations platform for mapping and surveying activities.
