We spent our first morning in the Lesser Antilles at paying a visit to the beautiful island of St. Vincent. There was an option to take a long hike on a rugged trail in the cloud forest where we encountered the endemic St. Vincent Parrot and other unusual birds. Meanwhile some of us took a short trip to the world-class Botanical Garden. While all these land activities were going on, the Undersea Specialists donned their diving gear and slipped below the surface, as is their wont, in search of a pair of wrecks which were rumored to lie on the bottom not far from the dock where we were tied up. We rapidly located the sunken ships in the clear blue water, one of them broken in half and the other quite intact. We toured both of them, looking into hatches and cargo holds, discovering groups of lobsters, angelfish and a grouper that must have weighed several hundred pounds. Along the way we used our underwater video rig (seen being carried by Dennis Cornejo in the photo) and our digital camera to record what we saw, so that we could bring back images to our guests on board the Caledonian Star. However, the wrecks lay between 50 and 95 feet down, depths at which we could not linger long; so right after lunch we launched the ROV again, operating it live from the lounge and sharing the mystery and fascination of these lost ships with everyone aboard. The little robot submarine is able to remain at depth indefinitely so we were all able to get great views of the wrecks, including the hardest to reach, most obscure parts like the keel post of the deeper wreck. It was a great experience to sit in comfort in the lounge and watch beautiful fish going about their day, flitting around the jagged hull of a sunken ship, deep below us.
