In July 1779, Spain and France declared war on Great Britain supporting the American colonies in their War of Independence. There is no ship in the world to rival her and few that even bear comparison. that have never before been mapped.Starting out with the bathymetry data, the project team proceeded the inspection with a dual frequency side scan sonar from Geoacoustics. Das spanische Linienschiff Santissima Trinidad (auch: Santísima Trinidad; deutsch: Allerheiligste Dreifaltigkeit) wurde 1769 in Havanna auf Kuba gebaut und sank 1805 nach der Schlacht von Trafalgar. It provides sharp and well defined images for locating objects such as cables, wires, etc. In 1780 the ship took part in the capture of an English convoy consisting of 51 vessels. After a hard and heroic struggle, it was captured by the English in a very poor condition, with over 200 dead and 100 wounded. The hydrographic vessel Malaspina is also fitted with a KONGSBERG EA 600 SingleBeam Echosounder (12kHz) and a KONGSBERG Seapath 200 position, attitude, time & heading sensor. There is no complete plan of the ship in existence,She was reputed to be the largest warship in the world, for which she was nicknamed The weight of the additional guns, so high above her waterline, made her sail poorly, leading to her In August 1780 she took part in the capture of 55 merchant ships from a convoy of 63, escorted by the Eight years later, commanded by Francisco Javier Uriarte and the flagship of It is possible that her wreck was found by coincidence during testing of a new sidescan sonar of the Spanish Navy, in 2009.A non-profit non-governmental Canadian association, the Friends of For exact figures, and those in the General characteristics frame, see: José Cayuela Fernandez, The vessel ended up with the following dimensions: length 63.36 m., 54.02 m. clean keel, beam 16.67 m, Depth 8.26 m., measured 2475 tons.

Since the system is available for connection to a DGPS receiver, we already had the pictures and position of the wreck. The guns were recovered and now lie at the entrance to the pantheon of distinguished seamen.The location of the wreck was done using two KONGSBERG systems by while conducting a demonstration onboard the hydrographic vessel Malaspina (owned by the Spanish Navy).The first contacts were established through a KONGSBERG EM 302 multibeam echosounder that was already onboard.
