An overhead photomosaic shows the wooden shipwreck "Northerner" resting on the seafloor. The vessel's deck planks, hatches, and a broken mast stubs are visible, showing the ship's long, narrow form. The image is composed of many smaller photos stitched together, creating a detailed view against a dark, textured seabed with irregular edges.

Northerner Photomosaic
Detailed photomosaic of Northerner. In just over an hour of dive time, the Saab Sabertooth hybrid autonomous underwater vehicle/remotely operated vehicle (AUV/ROV), with its powerful lights to help image the wreck, captured hundreds of high-resolution still images to produce a 3D model. Explore the Northerner model in depth in the NOAA Ocean Exploration Photogrammetry Collection or download the photomosaic here and zoom in to examine it more closely.
