During Dive 02 of the 2022 ROV and Mapping Shakedown, we explored the wreck of what is likely a 19th century whaler. Seen here are the remains of the ship's tryworks, a furnace that was used to render whale blubber into oil, and an anchor, as well as two fish that resemble a species commonly associated with shipwrecks.
