Program accomplishments

  • The joint ASHF/NPS team conducted subsea sonar surveys and diving operations in search of a lost WWII US military aircraft in the lagoon at Kwajalein Atoll, Republic of the Marshall Islands. An adjunct effort while in the RMI visually documented five (5) historic US and Japanese aircraft wrecks at Jaluit Atoll in partnership (and with financial assistance from) Pacific Historic Parks, resulting in an educational "story map and in furtherance of our ongoing Devastator Project. In August 2024, the Air/Sea Heritage Foundation, Ocean Infinity, and SEARCH, Inc. discovered the wreck of the ex-USS Stewart. The search for Samoan Clipper, a pioneering Pan American Airways flying boat that went down near Pago Pago, American Samoa in January 1938, continued. Air/Sea Heritage Foundation contracted with Deep Sea Vision to scan over 100 square miles of unexplored seabed off the northwest coast of Tutuila Island with a state-of-the-art Autonomous Underwater Vehicle. The Air/Sea Heritage Foundation is leading an ongoing effort to locate the wreckage of Pan Am Flight 526A, which crashed off Puerto Rico in 1952, to preserve its cultural significance and raise historical awareness. Despite extensive research and multiple expeditionsincluding a major survey in April 2024the wreck remains undiscovered, but the team plans to continue the search.
