Our own Dr. Calvin Mires continues to receive the accolades, attention, and appreciation that he so richly deserves.

Calvin joined Marine Imaging Technologies years ago as the resident archaeologist.

When we hired captains Danielle Claeyssens and Derek Ferguson we did not know that they traveled with their own sourdough starter.

Our own Elizabeth Silver also drops off a loaf at each port call along with brownies and/or a peach crumble.

Tonight premiere's part one of Expedition Unknown's two part series on the Japanese Hell Ship, Hōfuku Maru.

Marine Imaging's own Calvin Mires and Evan Kovacs joined the team lead by Josh Gates to identify and document the WW II wreck and subsequently created a digital 3D model of the wreck.

Discovery's Expedition Unknown premieres June 24 with the groundbreaking discovery of WWII Hellship Hōfuku Maru by Josh Gates and researchers.

Josh Gates never disappoints.

Having worked with Josh on several episodes, this two part story has a special significance for the Marine Imaging Technologies team.

Hope you can watch Part 1 Wednesday June 24th at 9pm EST on the Discovery Channel.

This Wednesday, June 24th, Discovery Channel's Expedition Unknown will premiere part one of a two part series on the Japanese Hell Ship, Hōfuku Maru.

Earlier this year Marine Imaging's own Calvin Mires and Evan Kovacs participated in the identification and documentation of the WW II wreck and created a digital 3D model of the wreck as she sits on the seafloor.

This is the second hell ship that Marine Imaging Technologies has documented and modeled. In December of 2024, Marine Imaging sent a team of divers (Kovacs, Mires, Perry Brandes, Alex Santos, Ram Yoro and Zack Whitrock) and multibeam technician David Ullman to Subic Bay to assist with the mapping, imaging and digital 3D modeling of the hell ship, Ōryoku Maru.

LOS ANGELES (CNN) — A Japanese ship was in a convoy steaming through the South China Sea on Sept. 21, 1944, with about 1,200 British and Dutch prisoners of war crammed in its holds. U.S. warplanes, mistaking the unmarked ship for a military cargo vessel, dropped four torpedoes. One struck the ship...

This past weekend, Kingman Yacht CenterGood for you hosted its inaugural Touch-A-Boat event at the marina in Pocasset, bringing together the local community, marine professionals, and more than a dozen businesses and organizations from across the region.

Marine Imaging was invited to introduce its 64-foot aluminum catamaran, Precision, to attendees and industry colleagues through vessel tours and demonstrations. Unfortunately, weather conditions prevented the vessel from leaving her mooring for the event.

While Precision and her sister vessel, the 35-foot aluminum catamaran Catapult, were unable to participate as planned, Marine Imaging showcased several of its specialized survey and imaging technologies.

On display were a marine magnetometer, an underwater housing system for a DSLR camera, and Taz, the company's custom-built pe*******on ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle). Attendees also had the opportunity to learn about the UWIS positioning system, a GPS-based triangulation technology used in conjunction with SeaArray to accurately track underwater assets and operations.

"We were happy with the turnout," said Chris Gagne, General Manager of Kingman Yacht Center. "This was the first time hosting this program for the community. We welcomed more than 400 attendees and featured a dozen exhibits and representatives. Our intention is to grow this into an annual event."

Despite the weather challenges, the event provided an excellent opportunity for Marine Imaging to engage with the public, demonstrate its innovative technology, and connect with fellow members of the maritime community.

It was a year ago this week that we finished enjoying the privilege of performing an archaeological survey off the 78’ R/V Northwind, built by All American Marine, Inc in Bellingham, Washington. Since that survey, Professional Mariner / American Ship Review awarded her “2025 Ship of the Year”.

And she rightly deserves the title.

Marine Imaging has always been an admirer of the All American Marine line of aluminum survey catamarans. Fortuitous timing and the winds of luck have allowed us to perform archaeological surveys from their vessels in all of the waters surrounding the United States: the 134’ “Sea Scout” in the Gulf of Mexico, the 73’ “Blue Manta” in Puerto Rico, the 48’ “Auk“ in our own backyard of Massachusetts Bay, and last year, the 78’ “Northwind” in northern California.

The stability and workspace afforded by a catamaran is what led us to purchasing our first catamaran in 2021, the 35’ “Catapult”, and then another purchase four years later, the 64’ “Precision” (originally christened “Trebuchet”). Catamarans are our ideal vessel for small ROV ops due to their combination of fast transit speeds and ample workspace.

A heartfelt thank you to all the catamaran captains we’ve worked with: Captains Bill and Snake in the Gulf; Captains Benny Bonet and Elman Montes in Puerto Rico; Captains Dave Slocum and Amy Melowski in the northeast; and Captain Jim Long in the Pacific.

We are excited to introduce the newest member of the Marine Imaging team, Jesse Newcombe.

Jesse, a Massachusetts Maritime Academy graduate '19, is joining Marine Imaging as the Facilities and Vessels Manager.

He has an infectious enthusiasm and a “get-it-done” attitude that will lead him into being an integral part of the Marine Imaging team.

Welcome aboard, Jesse.
