Ua hōʻike ʻia kahi hōʻike sonar a kahi huakaʻi ʻepekema ua loaʻa ka ʻāʻī o kahi moku i ʻike ʻole ʻia ma mua o hoʻokahi mile ka hohonu mai ke kapakai o North Carolina.Ua hōʻike ʻia nā mea kiʻi o ka moku i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma hope o ka ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.
Ua ʻike nā kānaka ʻepekema kai i ka moku i ka wā o ka huakaʻi noiʻi ma luna o ka moku noiʻi ʻo Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) ʻo Atlantis ma Iulai 12.
Ua loaʻa iā lākou ka moku i hāʻule i ka wā e hoʻohana ana ʻo WHOI i ka robotic automatic underwater vehicle (AUV) kiaʻi a me Alvin submersible kanaka.Ke ʻimi nei ka hui i nā lako hoʻopaʻa paʻa, i hele ma kahi huakaʻi noiʻi ma ia wahi i ka makahiki 2012.
ʻO nā mea hoʻomanaʻo i loaʻa i loko o ka ʻōpala o ka moku ʻo nā kaulahao hao, kahi puʻu lāʻau moku moku, nā pōhaku ʻulaʻula (mai ke kapuahi paha o ke kāpena), nā ʻōmole aniani, nā ipu lepo i hoʻoheheʻe ʻole ʻia, nā panana metala, a me nā lako hoʻokele ʻē aʻe paha.ʻEwalu hapahā a ʻeono paha hapahā.
Hiki ke ʻike ʻia ka mōʻaukala o ka moku i ka hopena o ke kenekulia 18 a i ʻole ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ke kenekulia 19, i ka wā e hoʻonui ai ka ʻōpio ʻo ʻAmelika i ke kālepa me ke koena o ka honua ma ke kai.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Cindy Van Dover, ke poʻo o Duke University's Marine Laboratory: "He ʻike hoihoi kēia a me ka hoʻomanaʻo ʻana ʻoiai ma hope o ko mākou holomua nui ʻana i ko mākou hiki ke hoʻokokoke a ʻimi i ka moana Ma lalo o nā kūlana, ua hūnā ke kai hohonu i kāna mau mea huna. .”
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Van Dover: "Ua alakaʻi au i ʻehā mau huakaʻi ma mua, a i kēlā me kēia manawa aʻu i hoʻohana ai i ka ʻenehana noiʻi luʻu no ka ʻimi ʻana i ke kai, me kahi huakaʻi i ka makahiki 2012, kahi mākou i hoʻohana ai iā Sentry e hoʻokomo i nā kiʻi sonar a me nā kiʻi kiʻi i loko o nā wahi e pili ana."ʻO ka mea hoʻohenehene, ua manaʻo mākou e ʻimi nei mākou i loko o 100 mau mika mai kahi o ka moku a ʻaʻole i ʻike i ke kūlana ma laila.
"Ke hōʻike nei kēia ʻike i ka ʻenehana hou a mākou e hoʻomohala nei no ka ʻimi ʻana i ka papakū hohonu ʻaʻole i hoʻopuka wale i ka ʻike koʻikoʻi e pili ana i ke kai, akā hoʻopuka pū kekahi i ka ʻike e pili ana i kā mākou mōʻaukala," wahi a David Eggleston, ka luna o ka Center for Marine Science and Technology (CMAST). ).ʻO kekahi o nā mea noiʻi nui ma North Carolina State University a me ka papahana ʻepekema.
Ma hope o ka ʻike ʻana i ka moku, ua hoʻolaha ʻo Van Dover lāua ʻo Eggstonton i ka papahana hoʻoilina moana o NOAA no ka loaʻa ʻana.E ho'āʻo ka polokalamu NOAA e hoʻoponopono i ka lā a ʻike i ka moku nalowale.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Bruce Terrell, ka mea kālaihonua nui o ka Marine Heritage Project, he mea hiki ke hoʻoholo i ka lā a me ka ʻāina i hānau ʻia ai ka moku i wāwahi ʻia ma ka nānā ʻana i nā seramika, nā ʻōmole a me nā mea hana ʻē aʻe.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Terrell: "I nā mahana kokoke i ka hau hau, ʻoi aku ma mua o hoʻokahi mile mai ka pūnaewele, ʻaʻohe pilikia a mālama maikaʻi ʻia.""ʻO kahi haʻawina archaeological koʻikoʻi i ka wā e hiki mai ana hiki ke hāʻawi iā mākou i ka ʻike hou aku."
Ua kuhikuhi ʻo James Delgado, ka luna hoʻomalu o ka Marine Heritage Project, e holo ana ka ʻōpala o ka moku i ke kahawai kai, a ua hoʻohana ʻia ke kahakai ʻo ke Kaikuono o Mexico no nā haneli mau makahiki ma ke ʻano he ala moana i nā awa o ʻAmelika ʻĀkau, ʻo ka Caribbean. Kaiwa o Mekiko a me ʻAmelika Hema.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia: "He mea hoihoi kēia ʻike, akā ʻaʻole i manaʻo ʻia.""Ua hāʻule ka ʻino i ka nui o nā moku mai ke kahakai ʻo Carolina, akā ma muli o ka hohonu a me ka paʻakikī o ka hana ʻana ma kahi kaiapuni waho, he kakaikahi ka poʻe i loaʻa."
Ma hope o ka ʻike ʻana o ka ʻōnaehana sonar scanning a Sentinel i kahi laina ʻeleʻele a me kahi wahi ʻeleʻele ākea, ua hoʻokele ʻo Bob Waters o WHOI iā Alvin i kahi kahua moku hou i ʻike ʻia, a lākou i manaʻoʻiʻo ai he mooring ʻepekema He aha nā lako lako.ʻO Bernie Ball o ke Kulanui o Duke a me Austin Todd (Austin Todd) o ke Kulanui o North Carolina State i kau aku ma luna o Alvin ma ke ʻano he mea nānā ʻepekema.
ʻO ka manaʻo nui o kēia noiʻi ʻana, ʻo ia ka ʻimi ʻana i ke kaiaola o ka lele ʻana o ka methane i ke kai hohonu ma ke kahakai hikina.He loea ʻo Van Dover i ka kaiaola o nā kaiaola kai hohonu i alakaʻi ʻia e ke kemika ma mua o ka lā.Ua aʻo ʻo Eggleston i ke kaiaola o nā mea ola e noho ana ma ka iʻa.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Van Dover: "ʻO kā mākou ʻike i manaʻo ʻole ʻia e hōʻike ana i nā pono, nā pilikia a me ka maopopo ʻole o ka hana ʻana ma ke kai hohonu."“Ua ʻike mākou i ka moku, akā ʻaʻole i ʻike ʻia nā mea hoʻokele i nalowale.”
