Deep Blue Marine, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: DPBE) is pleased to announce
that the company has completed the first stages of construction in
their privately owned Shipwreck Museum in the Dominican Republic.
All aspects of framing, wiring, plumbing and interior wood work
have been finished. Artisans have spent two years rebuilding
cannons and other artifacts for display. During the last two years
of recovery work the company has brought up thousands of artifacts
including musket balls, cannon balls, bar shot, shrapnel shot, wine
bottles, copper pots and pans, ship's rigging, rope , sails, coins,
cannons, muskets, ship's compass, kitchen utensils, smoking pipes,
rings, jewelry, different shoe and belt buckles, uniform buttons
and many other artifacts from the daily life of the men who fought
in the American Revolutionary War. Many of the artifacts on display
will be from the French 74 gun ship 'Le Scipion' which struck a
coral reef and sank in Samana Bay on October 18, 1782. The ship had
survived the Battle of the Chesapeake under the command of
deGrasse. She then moved to the Battle of the Saints in April of
1782. On October 17th 1782, 'Le Scipion' engaged two English ships
of the line, the 'London,' 98 guns and the 'Torbay,' 74 guns, and
the 14 gun sloop 'Badger' in a 34 hour running gun battle. She
outfought and outmaneuvered them in the Mona Passage for almost two
full days. While anchoring in Samana Bay she struck a high deep and
sank in 20 minutes.
The museum located in Samana will open in October 2010 with
hundreds of artifacts from this and other ships. Deep Blue Marine
will house several artifacts on loan from the Dominican Republic
Government as part of their displays.
The Museum will have its own conservation lab which, at this
time, is more than 75% complete and will be ready to accept
artifacts within 30 days.
The company hopes to have the entire project completely
functional by October 1, 2010 for the start of the new cruise ship
season to the area. The City of Samana hosts over 120,000 people
per year who visit the area on cruise ships. The ships drop their
passengers directly across the street from the museum entrance.
This same dock is used for tourists who enjoy whale watching from
November to March each year.
Randy Champion, Vice President of Deep Blue Marine, Inc. had
this to say, "We have worked very hard on this project and we are
ahead of schedule in all areas of construction and development. We
have met with several of the local agencies that book tours and
attractions for the tourists here and are tendering agreements. We
hope to be very busy this fall."
