At the end of February, Paul G. Allen of Microsoft fame located the wreck of the IJN MUSASHI, one of two Yamato class ships built by the Japanese for fighting in WW2. On the evening of March 12th, they ran a live stream feed from the expedition site in the Sibuyan Sea in the Philippines from his ship the MY OCTOPUS. For those who did not get to see the live stream, here is the link to the archived film: http://www.paulallen.com/galleries/musashi-expedition
It's a little over two hours and extremely interesting viewing. Not only do you see the ROV move over the wreck site as it's narrated by Rob Kraft and David Mearns of Blue Water Recoveries, LTD, but they teach us a bit about the equipment used, show us the bridge of the ship where the instruments do their job, and we meet some of the crew. All in all, some very interesting stuff to see. Watch and enjoy!
