ARRG is also working with the Commemorative Air Force and the Air Heritage Museum to locate and raise several submerged World War II aircraft that we located through archival research. If the recovery phase is successful, the CAF will restore and display the aircraft across the country in museums and airshows. ARRG is very excited to be a part of these recoveries which will raise and restore a dying part of America's air heritage.

We are continuously researching new sites also, and expect to conduct a large recovery off of the North Carolina Coast soon. There is also a wreck which we have located and identified on the shores of the Dominican Republic, we are currently in the permitting phase of this project. ARRG closely monitors the political climate in several countries which could open up to commercial salvage operations in the near future. We stand ready to take advantage of these changes if and when they occur.

Past Projects

In our first year (2007), we purchased and outfitted our vessels with the latest sub-sea search and excavation equipment. We then refined our search and excavation methods on the wreck of the Spanish galleon San Martin, she was the almiranta of the Honduran Fleet of 1618. She was loaded with treasure and trade cargo in the port of Trujillo (in present day Honduras) and was on her way back to Spain when she was caught in a storm and ran aground on the reefs of present day Vero Beach. ARRG, having achieved proficiency with our electronic search tools and satisfaction with our excavation methods on this site, spent the winter months continuing our research on the new sites above. We have several sites which warrant further investigation this summer, so stay tuned for a press release in the very near future.
