All these items have been sent to Professor Rodneyowi Young of the University of Pennsylvania, which organized a year later, archaeological expeditions. The designated archaeologist was George Bass. Because of the difficulties she had been exploring the nodules and attention to preserve the delicate items concretions "crushed" into smaller parts only on land. Under the water, their separation is often used hammers and chisels, and the car jack. Which unfortunately can no longer be called a scientific archaeological methods. Transportation of items to the surface were made with trash and buoyancy of balloons. Explored as a layer with ejector. The basic, initial documentation, performed at the bottom with a plate and graphite, and the remainder, including a single monuments on land. Underwater photographic documentation were also performed. Every day diving twice, after 40 and 28 min. For findings on the wreck were items such as bronze tools, which researchers believe most were destined for recycling.
