Archaeologists used sophisticated equipment to collect data on the position and state of the vessel, the Navy said. The multideam echo was used to create three -dimensional models of the ocean DNA, and the lateral scan of sonar created acoustic images of high -resolution wreck.

“The equipment used has allowed us to get unprecedented images of the trunk,” the Navy states.

The pictures obtained during the survey will be used to create three -dimensional models of shipwreck, the Navy said.
