Notas del episodio
Over a hundred shipwrecks lie hidden beneath the surface of Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary and upwards of a hundred more are still waiting to be found. But how do you hunt for history in pitch-black, frigid freshwater? Join Sanctuary Fellow Cassidy Beach as she steps into the world of lakebed mapping and wreck discovery through shadows, sonar, and submersibles. From "mowing the lawn" with multibeam acoustic technology to piloting research subs past sunken hulls and alien-like sinkholes, we explore the science, the ethics, and the human stories lingering on the bottom of the Great Lakes.
