Technology certainly is opening the doors towards discovering some historically interesting finds. I didn't realize that "hundreds of people on shore" watched this battle. Sue

Using New Software, Shipwreck Searchers Might Be Near Goal

BY DOUG TSURUOKA
INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY
Posted 1/12/2007
An expedition using new software to search for the wreck of a ship commanded by Revolutionary War hero John Paul Jones found some interesting remains on the ocean floor off Britain ? but the group isn't ready to declare victory.

Search team members hope the prow of one wreck found jutting from the sand in the North Sea off England's east coast are the remains of the Bon Homme Richard, the ship Jones used to defeat the British frigate HMS Serapis in an epic sea fight on Sept. 23, 1779. . . . . .

The ship was so badly shot up in the engagement that it sank after the battle, prompting Jones to move his crew to the captured British ship.

Jones' ship drifted for 36 hours before it slipped under the waves.

The battle between the ships took place off a promontory called Flamborough Head and was seen by hundreds of people on shore.

The search is drawing scientific interest because it's using special software that creates a drift simulation model. It incorporates tidal, wind and historical data from the day the battle was fought to pinpoint where the ship lies.

Rick Fernandes, a naval graphics expert, says it's the first time such software is being used to search for an 18th century shipwreck. . . . . . . .
