NEWTOWN, PA , a maritime asset recovery and subsea construction
management company, today announced it had received recovery permit
approval from the appropriate Nova Scotia Government officials for
one of their more valuable sites.
"We are very pleased to receive the recovery permit for this
area off the coast of Nova Scotia. We appreciate the cooperation
and support from the proper authorities in granting us permission
to proceed. We believe this site contains a large discontinuous
assemblage of coins and maritime artifacts," stated Peter
Knollenberg, Chairman of Sovereign.
Based on the Company's extensive research and reconnaissance
dives it determined the larger portion of the wreckage site is in
deeper waters. "Sovereign now has access to very experienced deep
water hard-hat divers through our acquisition of an important
ownership interest in REDS Caribbean LTD. The company is a
commercial deepwater diving and engineering company based in
Trinidad that now provides us with the in-house capability to
perform deep water operations," explained Robert Baca, Sovereign's
President & CEO.
"The combination of our first hand coastal knowledge, recent
subsea mapping utilizing the latest developments in sensing
technology, and the many reconnaissance hours spent on the site by
our North American divers coupled with the deepwater experience of
our REDS Caribbean divers has me very excited and optimistic about
this recovery season. Never before has such a professional,
technical and experienced team of divers, archeologists and curator
been assembled here for such an important recovery operation. This
is a very large project to bring history from the depths of the
ocean to benefit the people of Nova Scotia, Sovereign and the
general public at large," stated Captain Robert MacKinnon, who
heads Sovereign's Nova Scotia operations.
