In July, an international team, led by famed explorer Dr. Robert Ballard, will launch an expedition to conduct archaeological surveys of historically significant shipwrecks in the Iron Bottom Sound. This confined waterway of the Solomon Islands was the site of five naval battles of Guadalcanal, a defining turning point of World War II. Even after eighty years, to date, only 30 of the military ships lost in this area have been located, with dozens remaining to be found in deep waters.
In locating and exploring these historically significant sites, this expedition intends to honor and keep alive the memory of valiant service and sacrifice made by WWII servicemen, illustrate the importance of protecting cultural heritage sites through interdisciplinary, interagency, and international collaboration, and document the stories contained in the details of the seafloor battlefield. The expedition streams live 24/7 for communities worldwide to explore alongside the team at NautilusLive.org.
Join in a special Greatest Generation Live event from Veterans Breakfast Club and Ocean Exploration Trust to connect the team at sea aboard Exploration Vessel Nautilus. Bring your questions to explore the advanced technology bringing new efficiencies to expeditions, and learn the latest discoveries from one of the world’s most important seafloor battlefields.
