A marine archaeologist who 3D-mapped the wreck of the famous Titanic is to give a talk at the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute next month.

James Delgado is senior vice-president of Search, an American group specialising in archaeology.

His talk, “The Final Frontier: Space-Age Technology, Deep-Sea Exploration and Shipwrecks,” will explore the use of undersea camera technology which has enabled scientists around the world to discover marine life at extreme depths, undersea geology and a variety of shipwrecks.

Dr Delgado will discuss the technology, the science and missions he has led or participated in, including Titanic, Second World War wrecks in the Pacific and deep sea archaeological excavation of an early 19th-century shipwreck in the Gulf of Mexico.

The talk is scheduled for Thursday, April 5, starting at 7.30pm.
