SEARCH

SEARCH recently conducted a detailed assessment of the 1878-built iron hulled sailing ship 𝘍𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘊𝘭𝘺𝘥𝘦. After years of neglect, the ship has lost its historic integrity and is in the process of being delisted from the National Register of Historic Places. SEARCH Senior Vice President James P. Delgado conducted the original study of the ship for its designation in 1990 and led the reassessment of it three decades later. Lead Architectural Historian Mikel Travisano conducted additional documentation for the Historic American Engineering Record (HAER) together with Pete Kelsey. They used large format photography and #LiDAR scanning to record the interior and exterior of this sadly decayed, now inaccessible vessel. #Emesent #Hovermap #Hawaii Emesent

Earlier this month, more than 200 visitors joined SEARCH and a dozen participating organizations in celebrating Virginia archaeology at Arctoberfest. Local staff including Varna Boyd, Sarah Winner, and Patrick Merrigan were on hand to answer questions about terrestrial and maritime archaeology as well as museum work. To help make the day even more memorable, we offered kids (and adults!) the opportunity to dress up as an archaeologist for a photo op in front of an excavation backdrop. Thanks to the Fairfax County Park Authority for hosting this event and inviting us to participate! #Virginia #Archaeology #CulturalResources

SEARCH is proud to have supported Mead & Hunt in the production of interpretative panels within one of America’s largest springs—Silver Springs State Park in Florida. The panels celebrate thousands of years of history, from its earliest Native American inhabitants to the role of #transportation at the spring. 👉 https://arch.onl/mtzt9y5w Our Exhibits & Interpretation Sector tackle interpretative challenges of all sizes and generate award-winning content for various audiences. Follow SEARCH to learn how we can tell your story! #FLStateParks This project was funded by the Florida Department of Transportation.

October 19th marks International Archaeology Day, organized by the Archaeological Institute of America. At Tierra Right of Way Services, we take this opportunity to reflect on archaeology's incredible contributions to uncovering our shared history. 🌎 Tierra Right of Way Services and SEARCH, both part of the CLS Family of Companies, are united in the belief that preserving of our past is essential to connecting with our heritage—and ultimately, our humanity. For over 30 years, Tierra has partnered with federal, state, and local agencies to provide cultural resource services that protect and celebrate our rich past. Since 1993, SEARCH has been a global leader in archaeology, offering a full spectrum of cultural heritage services worldwide. Join us in celebrating #InternationalArchaeologyDay and learn more about our work in preserving history for future generations. https://lnkd.in/gr8cCDvf #IAD2024 #CulturalResources #Archaeology #Preservation #CLScompanies 

Today is International Archaeology Day! By studying the past through what people leave behind, archaeologists can offer valuable insights to help us solve modern problems. #Archaeology also inspires us to protect our shared #CulturalHeritage. Together with our CLS sister company, Tierra Right of Way Services, we’d like to express appreciation for our archaeologists who tireless work through challenging conditions to uncover our collective story. #IAD2024

🚢 We are thrilled to unveil the remarkable 3D representation of Sir Ernest Shackleton’s ship, the Endurance, which remains beautifully preserved on the seabed of the Wedell Sea. At the heart of this achievement is Pierre Le Gall, who played a pivotal role in the post-processing of the sonar and laser scans that brought the wreck to life in digital form. Known as the “father of the 3D data”, Pierre worked alongside Voyis and our dedicated subsea team, under the leadership of Nicolas VINCENT, to capture the most detailed view ever of this iconic shipwreck. This extraordinary achievement is a testament to the teamwork and perseverance of the Deep Ocean Search (DOS) crew, from our Offshore Manager Jc Caillens, who led the subsea operations, to every engineer who contributed to this mission. A special thank you to our partners Falklands Maritime Heritage Trust, National Geographic, EIVA a/s, Sonardyne International Ltd, Voyis and McGill University’s DECAR team for their invaluable support. #Endurance22 #DeepSeaExploration #3DModel #EnduranceFilm #TeamWork

It has been an honour and a privilege to be a part of the team involved in mapping the incredible #Endurance shipwreck. Our lab is grateful to have partnered with Voyis, where together we developed a navigation algorithm used during the survey of Endurance. A big thanks to the team at Voyis, especially Ryan Wicks and Chris Gilson, for their amazing guidance and support throughout this collaboration. Thank you also to DECAR alumni Thomas Hitchcox for all his hard work during his PhD studies. Additionally, it has been a pleasure to interact with Nico Vincent from Deep Ocean Search Ltd and Donald Lamont from the Falklands Maritime Heritage Trust.

Shipwreck 3D reconstruction | Have you seen this 3D model of the Endurance wreck (featured in a new documentary in cinemas)? It’s amazing to see what #subseatechnology can achieve 👏 Great work by Deep Ocean Search Ltd! We are proud of the high-quality subsea sensors of our sister companies Voyis and Sonardyne International Ltd, used in this 3D mapping inspection, along with our own #NaviSuite software for data visualisation. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gNZBDyPH   Nico Vincent from Deep Ocean Search, who developed the technology for the scans, along with Voyis Imaging and McGill University, said the digital replica offers a new way to study the ship. ‘It’s absolutely fabulous. The wreck is almost intact like she sank yesterday,’ explaining that the scan could be used by scientists to study the sea life that has colonised the wreck, to analyse the geology of the sea floor, and to discover new artefacts.   Want to read more shipwreck 3D modeling cases? https://lnkd.in/g26Rtne3   Interested in technologies for 3D digitisation of visual inspections? Together with Voyis, we’ve written an explainer on the two most common methods for 3D reconstruction from images, #VSLAM and #photogrammetry: https://lnkd.in/gqwrY2CQ Image courtesy of the Falklands Maritime Heritage Trust and National Geographic
