Exhibit Overview
Odyssey’s mission is to search the world’s oceans and discover shipwrecks with interesting
stories, artifacts and treasure. The company’s quest is to bring these fascinating
“time capsules” back to life. Come on board with the Odyssey crew and explore the
exciting world of deep-ocean exploration, science, technology and history.
Shipwrecks in History
Over the past three thousand years of maritime travel, many of the mightiest ships
have fallen victim to fierce storms, war and plunder. Delve into the intriguing accounts
of some of the most famous shipwrecks throughout history.
Odyssey’s Discoveries
Pioneers in the field of deep-ocean exploration, Odyssey has discovered more shipwrecks
in the deep ocean than anyone else. Share their passion for history and archaeology
and learn about their remarkable discoveries that have made world-wide headlines
including the SS Republic, the “Black Swan” site, and Balchin’s HMS Victory.
Pirates at Sea
With all this treasure, there must be pirates. Explore pirate lore, legend and facts
in this interactive exhibit. Create your own pirate, learn pirate skills and find out
what treasures pirates valued most. Encounter some of the most infamous pirates that
terrorized the seas including Blackbeard, Captain Kidd, Barbary Corsairs, Privateers
and Buccaneers.
Journey of the SS Republic
Following the devastating Civil War, the 1860s were a time of rebuilding and
innovation across America. The Republic set sail from New York heading for New
Orleans with a stunning assortment of ceramic goods, bottled fare, religious items and
elegant glassware intended to restock the shelves of Southern merchants. Journey back
in time, “traveling aboard” the Republic and relive her final historic voyage.
Steaming into a Hurricane
Smooth sailing can quickly turn perilous when strong winds blow in. Weather plays
a significant role in creating and locating shipwrecks. Experience first hand the
high-powered winds that brought down the Republic and several other famous
shipwrecks as you step into the hurricane wind tunnels.
The Search for the SS Republic
Diving into archives, libraries, old journals and maps, Odyssey researchers gather as
much information as they can to put together the missing pieces of the puzzle and
answer the questions, “Why did the ship sink?”…and “Where is it now?”

Exhibit Overview Continued
Explorers at Sea
Sailing the high seas armed with advanced technology and the world’s leading
shipwreck experts, Odyssey is opening up the last unexplored frontier – the deep ocean.
Explore the cutting-edge technology Odyssey uses to conduct its groundbreaking
discoveries by experiencing up close life-sized replicas of some of these cool tools.
You can even operate ZEUS’ robotic arm in interactive challenges, attempting to
recover coins.
Discovery 1,700 Feet Below!
Deep in the Atlantic Ocean, beyond the reach of human divers, Odyssey discovered
the remains of the SS Republic – the greatest shipwreck of the Civil War era. Lost
on the ocean floor for over a century, Odyssey conducted the first full archaeological
excavation of a deep-ocean shipwreck using advanced robotics. Over 14,000 priceless
artifacts and 51,000 coins were recovered from this historic shipwreck. This amazing
discovery provides today’s public and future generations a remarkable glimpse into life
in the mid-19th century, including the societal trends, fashions and customs of the day.
Here you can see the cornucopia of treasures recovered from the deep.
Recovery on Deck
ZEUS descends to depths that are unreachable to human divers to investigate
shipwrecks in the deep ocean. Although this massive eight-ton Remotely Operated
Vehicle (ROV) braves unthinkable dives, it’s capable of delicately retrieving small
precious items (such as coins, glassware and ceramics) as well as objects weighing up
to 200 lbs. Operated by ROV pilots aboard the surface ship, ZEUS places shipwreck
artifacts safely in the retrieval basket which are then brought up to see the light of day
for the first time, often in centuries!
Preserving History
Lost to the ocean depths often for centuries, artifacts must undergo conservation
that starts as soon as they are recovered to the surface. Odyssey’s world-class
conservation team explains the science of preserving history. Documentation is vital to
preserving artifacts so come explore Odyssey’s latest project, Odyssey’s Virtual Museum –
accessible 24 hours a day from any computer around the world.
Treasures of the Deep
Gold isn’t the only treasure found on shipwrecks. Priceless personal items and everyday
objects whose stories bring the past to life are also discovered. Delve into the many
artifacts and lost treasure retrieved from the ocean depths. Learn about the people who
lived in the distant past through the objects they used, relied on and cherished in their
daily lives. Interactive technology accompanies this fascinating gallery of artifacts.
Shimmering Gold and Silver
Some of the most rare and unique coins from the SS Republic are on display in the
gallery, with historical details on their mint, significance and value. An authentic gold
bar from the “Tortugas” shipwreck is also on display. Read the vivid stories and history
that highlight some of the different forms of money used in early America.
