So we chose the largest wreck that was exposed the most, that had timbers on it, that had some cannons exposed, says Kevin. Improvements in technology such as remote sensing and photogrammetry, which have been used to stitch together thousands of photos to create detailed 3D reconstructions of wreck sites helped, and by 2016 theyd mapped out eight of the 13 wreck sites. [110], In addition to the search for the remains of the ship herself, there was substantial Australian interest in locating relics of the ship's south Pacific voyage. She reached Tahiti on 10 April,[41] where she remained for the next three months. Plans are now under way to raise funds to excavate and conduct scientific testing in 2019. Histria Primeiros anos.
