Image Of the Day caption:
WHOI engineers Amy Kukulya and Mark Dennett tested a REMUS 6000 autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) from the WHOI dock in 2014. Researchers have used the vehicle to locate Air France Flight 447 in over 4000 meters (2.5 miles) of water and to discover new deep-water coral reefs. More recently, it was used to find the remains of a 62-gun, three-masted galleon that sank in 1708 with a cargo believed to be worth billions of dollars. The ship, which is often called the holy grail of shipwrecks, went down off the coast of Colombia with a treasure of gold, silver, and emeralds during a battle with British ships in the War of Spanish Succession.
