Good of you to admit you don't know the speed of the SeaSearcher or how long it would take to scan a site. I haven't seen where Seafarer described the SeaSearcher as a device to discover random unknown shipwrecks. It appears to me that it is made more for finding and pinpointing treasure on existing shipwreck sites.

From their website:

SeaSearcher Marine Research Team is not just an exciting new technology platform developed for Seafarer Exploration but is an entire team of experienced engineers, technologists, analysts, and divers developing new and innovative equipment and techniques for identifying, isolating, and locating sea-bottom or sub-bottom artifacts.

The SeaSearcher Marine Research Team is currently actively testing the SeaSearcher platform on the Melbourne site using the Good Fortune as the command vessel.

While we are not able to disclose much about the SeaSearcher device itself at this time, we are able to say that it integrates new and existing technologies along with advanced signal processing and imaging. The SeaSearcher is an experimental platform that is focused on localizing objects of interest ranging from the sea-bottom to several meters below the bottom. The SeaSearcher system extends capabilities well beyond what is available today in the area of sub-bottom imaging. While sub-bottom imaging has existed for years to identify course strata and general layer density, the technology to perform high-resolution 3D imaging below the sea-bottom in real-time on an autonomous vehicle has not. The SeaSearcher flies like a ray manually or autonomous just a few feet off of the sea-bottom and uses an array of specialized sensors to develop a 3D image of what is on and below the sea-bottom including its likely composition attributes. These images are fed back to the command vessel and/or command center via a surface buoy and wireless link to be processed using proprietary Automatic Target Discrimination software which looks for the attributes of our targets of interest. Precise underwater GPS measurements allow each object to be located including latitude, longitude, and depth below the sea-bottom and is marked for re-visit by the Seafarer Discovery Team. It is also automatically registered and added to a database for future reference.



But if there is an area where a ship is known to have gone down I would think it could be used to determine the presence of and locate the treasure on that site without having to find the wreck itself although that would seem inevitable. How they use it will be up to Seafarer but there is a lot of potential for very profitable use.

Are you saying there are no known wreck sites that need to be explored to locate the treasure? Are you avoiding that question for a reason?

The professional comment was apparently a little out of your cognitive jurisdiction.
