- Federal scientists are using new technology to uncover what lies on the bottom of Halifax harbour. They're now using autonomous underwater vehicles to take more accurate images of the ocean floor. The CBC's Amy Smith spoke to marine geoscientist Alex Normandeau at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography.

They're going to find a bunch of old volvos.
Ricky probably threw over a hundred 10 speed bikes in there.
Rickies car is in there.
And shopping carts.
@@waterbottle4782 Nah!! Bubbles has already salvaged those. Kitty food isn't cheap.
Lmao, I was gonna make a similar comment.
These guys would find the Oak Island treasure faster than 11 seasons of the Laginas randomly finding stuff.
Never finding the treasure is the treasure.
Man you’re not lying about that 😂. Those two brothers have managed to keep that carrot firmly in front of the History Channel for a decade now smh. Best I’ve seen was some pieces of wood in interesting places, a few coins and some questionable ‘glyphs’ on rocks 😮
"Oak Island treasure"
No such thing.
Oak island! What a scam
Hydrography did do scans around the island, I believe. A long time ago though they periodically scan again to update the hydrography maps as the relief of the bottom changes over time due to ocean currents and such.
Normandeau’s fluency in English is really superior. Because on a couple of occasions he drops the -s plural morpheme, I’m going to guess he acquired English as a teen or adult. Much respect, sir! If only I were that fluent in French!
I agree. I work with a bunch of Quebecers and his pronunciation in English is great.
I was so hoping I was going to hear something about the Monte-Blanc and the 1917 Halifax explosion, some evidence of the event still visible on the sea floor.
Yeah, that would've been cool eh.
I don't want to go into details of how and why, but about halfway across the ferry route lies Tony's wallet with a couple hundred bucks in it.
Still talks about that after all these years, does he?
As a navy veteran for 20 years back in the day, I can tell you that in the navy dockyard area alone there has to be thousands of items on the floor bottom tossed out of scuttles of navy ships for the past 200+ years. We'll see.
I heard a story that a Coast Guard ship years ago lost an anchor during a training session. I don't know if the story teller was exaggerating though.
Is there a crater where the mont blanc was ?
Very likely. Until the explosion in Beirut it was the largest pre nuclear explosion ever
As a retired sailor in Halifax I can confirm that there is a million old coffee cups on the bottom of the harbour!! Lol
Plates too....
Very interesting. This retired navy diver saw a whole bunch of it close up and personal, it's nice to see the actual map.
My father sailed out of Halifax on corvettes escorting convoys across the Atlantic during WWII. He said that sometime the weather was so rough on the return trip that most of the silverware in the messes ended up under lockers. Once they got back to Halifax there was always a few of the crew picked to clean up the ship before heading off on leave so to speed up the process they would just gather up what they could find and throw it out the portholes. In his words "The bottom of Halifax harbour is paved in silver"!
I was told by a former Volvo employee that those cars were intentionally placed in the Basin to test various rust treatments that they were using on the car bodies.
Wow anchor drags,I never would have thought possible
Awesome!😀
$1.5 M is cheap for that kind of tech.
And it’s getting cheaper over time because technology is getting cheaper.
There is so much history sitting at the bottom of the Halifax harbour
For one thing my lobster trap
They launched it at one of my favourite fishing spots. I want one. I would also love to be able to access these underwater maps.
Great story.
I can't wait to see where the "Loc Ness Monster's" summer home is.
I'd love a documentary on those Volvo's and possibly raising them from the depths of the harbour... Plus just on the history of Volvo having kit manufacturing in Halifax-Dartmouth in general... I have a feeling this will be the future of automaking once again just with more robots... I.e like the Singapore Hyundai facility that can build 35,000 cars a year using mostly robots and 110 humans...
They are likely rusted so bad they will fall apart if some one tried to raise them
Gee I'm surprised there was no mention made of any of the navall muntions that were scattered from some sort of incident in 1945.
Wasnt it during the first world war?
There was a second Halifax explosion that took place July 18/19 1945 when stockpiled ammunition being off loaded from warships exploded at the Bedford Magazine
That's the one I was thinking of, though I suppose some from the WWI collision might still be down there too.
Thats been cleaned up.
Years ago I worked on the engineering for dredging the narrows and the throat of the basin. The things that we dredged up were scary. From old car parts to WWII bombs. Not to mention the pollution such as pools of mercury.
St.John's Harbour wants to tell ya,
YOU DON'T WANNA KNOW WHATS DOWN THERE!
IYKYK
Cool stuff.
The Teledyne logo/brand in the seventies marketed Acoustic Research speakers, and the Waterpik toothbrush (or was it shower heads?). All those Volvos: 240’s or 740/940’s ?
BIO’s floating gabled blue square building for a chunk of my life was a landmark coming in to hfx via Bedford hwy. or by train. Then there was an old wooden tugboat beached near prince’s lodge near the road , until someone torched it to the waterline.
Volvos still there.
Shopping carts , bicycles and munitions from the two explosions from the ship collision and Magazine Hilll explosion .
oh..the volvos..alwaysthe volvos..fader version 2
An alien base .
10,000 would help map and protect Canadian waters.
Why don't they use Lidar scanning?
Not even lobsters are immune to invasion of privacy.
Any chance of finding Jimmy Hoffa?
Halifax explosion,pirate treasure or UFO wreckage.
Just use some scuba gear to watch that HUGE MOUNTAIN OF UNDERWATER HUMAN CRAP LIKE THAT DRONE lol
A few murders are feeling uncomfortable right now.
Gold or money
100,000 chemox canisters! LOL
No talks about cleaning all that 'manure' out of there?
Probably some shrapnel...
Why do they need to see the sea floor?
1-because it’s cool
2-because we’re curious what’s down there
3-science/learning about our impacts on the environment
Fantastic
Beer bottles.
They will find debris from the halifax explosion
it would be safe, definitely. and effective for gathering information. definitely safe and effective. funny don't hear that much anymore
The answer is rocks
1967 is what they're looking for
So are they going to find the alien spaceship that was spotted years ago !
Bodies
Mud?
There’s some federal things I’d like to put in that Harbour 😂
Moose head beer caps ..
Not to forget Oland's.
lol well soon they will ban ships coming to Canada
at a time when housing, education and medical services are under so much strain, do we really need this now?
It is cheap. 1.5 million Canadian dollars is like 75 USD 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nnno idea . >.>
Tim Horton's should be sponsoring this, considering the amount of garbage that business creates every day. How many Timmie's cups there are on the harbour floor, do you think? I'm betting several hundred thousand.
The business has nothing to do with any garbage in the harbour. Point your finger at the people who threw it there.
Let’s have a look at the mud and anchor marks at bottom of a harbour …. OR. Feed and house some homeless citizens…. Hmmmm. Mud is more interesting. Let’s do that. So we can show. Justin that it’s ok to dump more stuff in the harbour…
A lot of garbage LOL !
waste of good tax dollars
Take it to Shag Harbour and find the UFO
