Secrets of the Deep July 15, 2010

Learn about NOAA's underwater parks, called National Marine Sanctuaries, and explore the highly publicized USS Monitor site. Step inside a submersible called The Clelia and take on the role of a pilot or a NOAA scientist. You and your family can control an actual nine-foot long robotic arm to collect samples and artifacts from the seabed, or operate a remote-controlled camera to explore the wreck site. In addition, the exhibit showcases real artifacts recovered from the wreck of the famous Civil War ironclad.
