沈没船・トレジャーハンターミュージアム

去年、ニューオリンズにハリケーンが直撃したことは大きなニュースになりました。何回か紹介しましたが、沈没船・トレジャーハンターミュージアムがオープンするちょうどその日に避難勧告が出されました。なんと２月の１５日に再オープンが決定しました。

The attraction opened for a few hours on Aug. 27, 2005 while Hurricane Katrina was bearing down on New Orleans. The museum has been closed since.

New Orleans played a significant role in the history of the SS Republic, Odyssey’s first major deep-ocean archaeological recovery, and the city’s tourism market will be an important customer base and learning model for future attractions, the company said in a release.

The attraction reveals the stories behind some of the world’s most famous shipwrecks, their treasure and historical artifacts, and it allows visitors to interactively experience the adventure and excitement of deep-ocean shipwreck exploration through multiple hands-on exhibits, the company said.

Tampa-based Odyssey Marine Exploration (AMEX: OMR) has several shipwreck projects in various stages of development throughout the world.
