The sv Antigua was built in 1957 in Thorne.
The sv Antigua is a steel-hulled ketch that was built in 1957 in Thorne, England. She is 72 feet long and 18 feet wide, with a draft of 8 feet. She has a single mast and a mizzenmast, and she is powered by a 120 horsepower diesel engine.
The Antigua was originally built as a fishing vessel, but she was converted to a sailing yacht in the 1970s. She has since been used for a variety of purposes, including charter work, research expeditions, and private cruising.
In 2021, the Antigua was chartered by a group of scientists and explorers for a trip to the Arctic. The trip was led by Dr. Robert Ballard, who is best known for his discovery of the wreck of the RMS Titanic in 1985.
The expedition's goal was to search for evidence of the lost city of Atlantis. Atlantis is a mythical city that is said to have been located in the Atlantic Ocean. It is said to have been a technologically advanced city that was destroyed by a cataclysmic event thousands of years ago.
The expedition team searched for evidence of Atlantis using sonar, magnetometers, and other scientific equipment. They also conducted dives to explore the seafloor. However, they did not find any conclusive evidence of the lost city.
Despite the lack of evidence, the expedition was a success. The team collected valuable data about the Arctic Ocean and its seafloor. They also gained a better understanding of the challenges of searching for lost underwater cities.
