00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:09.200
Every day we would leave Sausalito to go
out through the Golden Gate

00:00:09.810 --> 00:00:12.980
and head out to the Farallones to do our
work

00:00:12.980 --> 00:00:14.800
in usually beautiful

00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:15.800
weather

00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:19.289
that belies the fact that this is an
area that

00:00:19.289 --> 00:00:22.730
took ships sometimes

00:00:22.730 --> 00:00:25.730
not only without warning but without
notice.

00:00:26.990 --> 00:00:31.689
You head out there over a spot where
down below in the depths lies a shipwreck.

00:00:32.619 --> 00:00:39.430
You launch. You wait.  You anticipate. You
watch what comes back through the feed

00:00:39.430 --> 00:00:46.110
from the robot on the bottom.  Things begin to
appear. You begin to better understand

00:00:46.110 --> 00:00:53.690
what you're seeing, what it represents.
Then you see something like this gun...

00:00:53.690 --> 00:01:00.640
which very powerfully tells a story because it's an
artifact that

00:01:01.350 --> 00:01:06.020
has particular importance.  It's there. It shows in historic photographs

00:01:06.020 --> 00:01:12.040
and you see it on the bottom encrusted and
changed and yet in your mind's eye, or when

00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:16.320
you come back and look at historic
photograph, there it is... painted with a

00:01:16.320 --> 00:01:20.720
group of smiling young men around it and it
reminds you that what you're looking at

00:01:20.720 --> 00:01:25.440
was once not only in the land of air and light,
but a living ship with a living crew.

00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:29.850
You come away with

00:01:29.850 --> 00:01:37.090
a profound sense that what you're doing, what
you see, what you now must share is not

00:01:37.090 --> 00:01:43.290
just the story of a ship, not just the
story of an expedition. There are 56 guys

00:01:43.290 --> 00:01:49.710
whose story needs to be told and whose
families need to know where they are.

00:01:49.710 --> 00:01:50.980
And the fact that they are now

00:01:50.980 --> 00:01:56.190
not only resting in their ship at
bottom of the ocean, but in an area of

00:01:56.200 --> 00:02:00.280
the country that is set aside as a National Marine Sanctuary.
