This is the second model (Version 2.1) of the high-resolution photogrammetry passes from Deep Discoverer (D2) on Okeanos Explorer EX1806 Dive 09. Much credit goes to the skillful ROV pilots on the Okeanos Explorer. Protocols for data collection and processing by BOEM’s Marine Archaeologist Scott Sorset.

Octant



An octant is a portable navigational instrument used by sailors to determine their latitude at sea by observing the altitude of the sun or stars above the horizon. 1

Anchor Chain



The anchor chain extended an unknown distance away from the wreck but the expedition was unable to explore the other end of it. 2

Brick Pile



This pile of bricks may have been used as a fire-proof surface on the deck of the ship on which to cook or for rendering the ship’s unknown cargo. 3

Rudder Gudgeon



The ship’s rudder mounts to the stern of the ship with a hinge made of brass to allow it to move. Part of that hinge, called the “grudgeon,” mounts to the sternpost and has a hole in it to receive a pin, called the "pintle," from the piece on the rudder itself. This rudder was badly damaged upon impact with the seafloor. 4

Conch Shells



This cargo is a big clue as to possible ports in the Caribbean this ship had visited prior to sinking. 5

Chain Plates



Chain plates attached the standing rigging from the mast to the side of the hull. These were found just outside the hull of the wreckage. 6



Chain Plates

Ballast Stones



These stones were used to keep the sailing ship upright and allowed the crew to shift weight as needed as they took on their cargo. 7

Wooden Frames



It is remarkable that after 200 years there is still wooden structure remaining. Understanding the spacing between the ribs of the ship helps us to understand the approximate size of the ship. 8

Stoneware Jug



Jugs like these were used time and again for many different liquids. In fact, they are so sturdy that many times the jugs can far pre-date the ship itself. 9
