A local maritime technology company played a role in pinpointing and taking images of shipwreck sites from World War II near the Aleutian Island of Attu.
Researchers exploring the maritime archaeology of Attu, the most western part of the Aleutian Islands, where the Battle of Attu took place in 1943, used Groton-based ThayerMahan’s advanced sonar imagery equipment this past summer to find two shipwrecks: the Japanese Kotohira Maru and the SS Dellwood of the United States. World Scan Project of Japan used drones to locate a third: the Cheribon Maru.
