On March 21, 1890, a ship named the was nearing the end of an over 1,600 mile journey.


600-year-old Viking shipwreck is the largest of its kind

Popular Science

The medieval'cog' was nearly 92 feet long and featured castles on its bow and stern. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Archaeologists in Denmark say a sunken Viking ship near Copenhagen is the largest boat of its kind ever discovered--and that's saying something. At nearly 92 feet long, the 600-year-old vessel is also one of the best preserved examples of a cog, a "super ship" whose advanced design and carrying capacity helped transform trade in medieval Europe. "The find is a milestone for maritime archaeology," excavation lead Otto Uldum said in a statement, adding the boat now offers a "unique opportunity to understand both the construction and life on board the biggest trading ships of the Middle Ages."

ShipwreckFinder: A QGIS Tool for Shipwreck Detection in Multibeam Sonar Data

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Abstract--In this paper, we introduce ShipwreckFinder, an open-source QGIS plugin that detects shipwrecks from multi-beam sonar data. Shipwrecks are an important historical marker of maritime history, and can be discovered through manual inspection of bathymetric data. However, this is a time-consuming process and often requires expert analysis. Our proposed tool allows users to automatically preprocess bathymetry data, perform deep learning inference, threshold model outputs, and produce either pixel-wise segmentation masks or bounding boxes of predicted shipwrecks. The backbone of this open-source tool is a deep learning model, which is trained on a variety of shipwreck data from the Great Lakes and the coasts of Ireland. Additionally, we employ synthetic data generation in order to increase the size and diversity of our dataset. We demonstrate superior segmentation performance with our open-source tool and training pipeline as compared to a deep learning-based ArcGIS toolkit and a more classical inverse sinkhole detection method.
