Write a commentStarting next week, the public is invited to join NOAA virtually and be among the first to explore never-before-seen shipwrecks in Lake Ontario National Marine Sanctuary.
During the expedition, NOAA scientists and partners will deploy a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) outfitted with a high-definition camera and other technologies to survey and document the sanctuary's shipwrecks.
From May 18 through May 25, anyone with an internet connection can ride along as a team of scientists and maritime archaeologists narrate the mission in real time. The sanctuary features an extraordinary collection of 63 known shipwrecks and one known submerged aircraft, among the best preserved in the world, discovered over decades by local recreational scuba divers and shipwreck explorers.
