Senator Point Cloud Model
An initial perspective point cloud model of Senator made with data collected by the laser scanner on the hybrid autonomous underwater vehicle/remotely operated vehicle during the fieldwork of the Exploring Wisconsin Shipwreck Coast National Marine Sanctuary at Scale project. Senator is a 400-foot long steamer built in 1896 that went down with its cargo — 268 Wisconsin-built Nash automobiles — in 1929 after it was hit by another vessel. It now rests in 415 feet of water and is the deepest known wreck in the sanctuary.
