Decked Out
Photograph by David McLain
Testing of the new ROV Hercules went swimmingly—at first. Pilots practiced steering the sub (above) in Sinop harbor during initial delays in Turkey. When finally deployed in search of Black Sea wrecks, Hercules performed flawlessly, proving for the first time that underwater archaeology via remote control was possible. But later tweaks to the sub's computer software caused its hydraulic system to break down twice, bringing the mission to an early end.
