Hamilton and Scourge survey

[underH2Oman]

Does anyone know who is doing the survey work on these wrecks and is the information going to be made public by Parks Canada or the city of Hamilton
?
There is a lot of history on these wrecks and getting information and documenting the deep wrecks like these has great value in my opinion.

The article seems to tell you who is doing them. I remember Jim Kennard and Dan Scoville wanted to be part of one of the expeditions to the wrecks because they are banned for one reason or another. Unfourtantly, I dont think a magnetometer isn't going to tell them much. They did not capsize or drift much from when they went under, otherwise those heavy cannons would bust loose and they would not be there. The intactness of the wrecks show that they took on water slow enough that the cabins did not blow off during the sinking and that heavy objects did not roll much. Divers who dove them in the 80's before the ban could tell you more than they can today about what is actually down there. We found the E.B. Hale in 2010 and that is a great example of what happens when a heavy cargo and objects bust through the hull and actually leave a trail 1/2 mile long right to the wreck. Sonar surveys I've seen before on these two vessels do not indicate a large debris field.

The survey witch one was done many years ago that never seemed to accomplish anything.
