About Marine Exploration,
with Sail & Cruise Inc.
Marine Exploration is
engaged in the
archaeologically sensitive
exploration and recovery of
deep-water shipwrecks
throughout the world. We
employ advanced
state-of-the-art technology
including side scan sonar,
remotely operated vehicles, or
ROVs, and other advanced
technology, which enables us
to locate and recover
shipwrecks at depths that were
previously unreachable in an
economically feasible manner.
Marine Exploration's founders
have significant experience in
deep ocean shipwreck
exploration, and have
supervised extensive
deep-water archeological
excavations with ROVs. In
addition to operational
experience, our officers have
taken a leadership role in the
development of a shipwreck
exploration industry, having
founded the Professional
Shipwreck Explorer's
Association, served on the
United States delegation for
the Convention on the
Protection of Underwater
Cultural Heritage for four
consecutive terms, provided
advice to various government
agencies on shipwreck policy
issues in both the United
States and abroad, and
negotiated the world's first
sovereign shipwreck partnering
agreement with any government.
