Who We Are...
Aqua Quest International is an Ocean Exploration and Archaeological Recovery Corporation headquartered in Tarpon Springs, Florida. Since the first submersibles were utilized in the late nineteenth century, man has been exploring and exploiting ocean resources, and reaping the bounty the oceans provide. Advanced technology is making undersea search and recovery - in both deep and shallow water environments - more practical and more cost effective. Archaeological Recovery combines the ‘Scientific Method’ of ‘traditional archaeology’ with the ‘bottom line’ business of shipwreck salvage. Aqua Quest believes the goals of shipwreck research and shipwreck archaeology are best served within a dynamic model of business and entrepreneurship. Captain Robert Mayne, Aqua Quest CEO invites you to examine our web site and join in the Aqua Quest Adventure.
Aqua Quest Salvages More Cable...
Aqua Quest International continues to recover substantial amounts of submerged cable off the east coast of Florida. The cable is being stripped and sold for the copper scrap contained within a sheav of steel reinforcment strands as shown in the crosscut illustration below.
Huge Copper Ore Discovery...
Aqua Quest is pleased to announce the Admiralty Arrest and on-going salvage of a steamship - cargo vessel - that was lost off the east coast of the United States in International waters. The vessel was in route from a ‘Caribbean Port’ to the ‘Port of Philadelphia’ with a cargo of copper ore destined for manufacturing plants in the northeast United States. It is believed that the vessel carried approximately 4,000 tons of copper ore - spot price today - fifty-eight cents a pound. The salvage is projected to realize a potential of between three to five million dollars. As the salvage continues the Aqua Quest archaeologist is researching and writing a monograph on the vessel and her fatal voyage.
