The loss of the RMS Titanic has fascinated the public for nearly a century. When Dr. Robert Ballard discovered the wreck in September 1985, it was determined that the ship had sustained a hull failure and another visit in 1986 found that a portion of the midsection of the ship was missing. Recent use of deep diving Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV) and modern computer techniques have enabled evidence that has been recovered or seen on the seabed to be analyzed to determine what really caused this magnificent ship to sink and break apart. Yes, the ship did collide with an iceberg, but were there other contributing factors?

The Mica Wreck (so named because it lies in the Mississippi Canyon area of the Gulf of Mexico) lies in 810 MSW, approximately 50 kilometers south of the Louisiana coast. The shipwreck will be surveyed and partially excavated in July 2002 with the aid of the U.S. Navy's NR-1 nuclear powered research submarine and several remotely operated vehicles (ROVs). The primary goal of the excavation is to recover artifacts that will help determine the identity and origin of the wreck. The excavation is significant because it represents the first scientific study of a deepwater shipwreck in the Gulf of Mexico. This paper will discuss the historical background and the innovative methods to be used during the excavation.

General Overview

This paper covers the results of a design study recently completed in Japan on manned submergence research vehicles equipped with Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) and/or Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs). The primary features and general overview of the vehicle designs are described, and some of the major items to be examined in each study are introduced.At the outset of this study, the opinions of many domestic scientists and scholars were collected in order to identify the most important subjects of future scientific research in the deep ocean.This study was carried out by the "ad hoc Committee" organized by the Japan Deep Sea Technology Association.

Outfall Inspections, Token Repairs, and Major Remedial Works

The coastal marine environment is fraught with risk for any exposed or minimally-buried seabed structure such as an outfall. Thus, conduits of this type should be inspected on a regular basis, whether by divers, remotely operated vehicles, or manned submersibles. Small deficiencies may be handled upon detection by the same person or system. Major problems will require a competent marine contractor and an elapse of time. The paper lists a number of outfall malfunctions of various scales and, in most cases, the remedial measures pursued. With care, a typical pipe of this type should function efficiently for many years.
