3D Sonar Video of Shipwreck USS Hatteras

A new 3-D state of the art sonar map shows never-before seen details of the USS Hatteras, the only Union warship sunk in combat in the Gulf of Mexico during the Civil War.

NOAA's Office of National Marine Sanctuaries thanks our partner ExploreOcean for their support in creating a thorough 3D sonar map of the USS Hatteras wreck site. Through the great support of Teledyne BlueView, ExploreOcean provided sonar equipment, and an independent operator, James Glaeser of Northwest Hydro.

USS Hatteras, now resting on the ocean floor on lands administered by our partners at BOEM, BSEE, is a protected archaeological site and a war grave administered by the Navy's History and Heritage Command, is the only Union warship sunk in combat in the Gulf of Mexico during the Civil War.
