NOAA's Office of National Marine Sanctuaries, in collaboration with the National Park Service, Minerals Management Service, East Carolina University, the University of North Carolina Coastal Studies Institute, and the State of North Carolina, conducted an archaeological expedition to survey ships sunk off the coast of North Carolina during the WWII Battle of the Atlantic. The 2008 expedition was lead by the Monitor National Marine Sanctuary and conducted in two parts that began on July 6 and ran through July 25. Additional support was provided by Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary, and NOAA's National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science.
