Decipher the wreck that once warned the Titanic about icebergs

After more than 100 years of searching, Bangor University experts have found shipwreck SS Mesaba “sleeping” at the bottom of the Irish Sea. They found this wreck thanks to modern multi-beam sonar technology.What is interesting to learn about the merchant ship SS Mesaba (pictured) is that it once sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in April 1912. Special, ship This sent an iceberg warning to the Titanic.However, the Titanic (pictured) ignored the above warning and eventually crashed into an iceberg and sank to the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean in April 1912. As a result, more than 1,500 people died in the tragedy of the sinking of the Titanic.The SS Mesaba was built in Belfast. This ship was torpedoed by the German ship U-118 in 1918 while sailing from Liverpool to Philadelphia.As a result, the SS Mesaba sank about 21 km from Tuskar Rock, southeast of the port of Rosslare in Ireland. 20 crew members were killed in this shipwreck, including the captain.The Mesaba train is one of 273 the body of the ship The wreck was discovered “sleeping” in an area of ​​19,425 square kilometers in Irish waters.Dr. Michael Roberts, a marine geoscientist who led the sonar survey at Bangor University’s School of Marine Science. He said examining the shipwreck site helps experts better understand how the object on the seabed interacts physically and biologically. From here, scientists will have breakthroughs in the field of marine energy.Meanwhile, Dr Innes McCartney, lead researcher at Bangor University, said that the discovery of the SS Mesaba wreck using new technology promises to be a breakthrough in marine archaeology, promising to attract interest interest of historians, marine scientists and environmental agencies.“Previously, we could only dive to a few locations a year to identify the wreck by sight. Sonar technology allowed us to develop a relatively inexpensive method of examining the wreck. We can relate data to historical information without the expense of going to each location,” said Dr.Invite readers to watch the video: Storm No. 9 Molave ​​shock level 17, Fishing boat sinks in the sea while running storm, 12 fishermen are missing.
