Equipment Used: Camera- deep sea, ORE 140 transceiver/1036 transducer sub-bottom profiler, Teledyne single-channel 300-500J 40-tip minisparker, Teledyne 28420 hydrophone, Hydroplastic corer, Western Geophysical Integrated Navigation System
Information to be Derived: Samples and chemical analysis;
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: This cruise successfully accomplished its objectives. ANGUS photos were taken at 20 second intervals at 6-7 m above sea floor, the three synchronized cameras taking overlapping photos including an area as great as 450 sq. m. There was no photo overlap at nominal cruising speed of 0.75 knots. 6 nm of data were lost during the last day of the survey because heavy seas prevented safe launch of the camera vehicle. During times when the camera vehicle batteries were being recharged, we retraced the camera track with the minisparker in tow to obtain sub-bottom data along track. At selected sites along photo tracks the corer was deployed to obtain bottom samples. A dredge haul was made to identify a distinctive cliff-forming rock unit. ANGUS photography: 271 km; 3.5 kHz: 32.4 km; Minisparker: 241.4 km; 20 stations (19 core sites and 1 chain bag dredge).
