Sonar images from robotic submersible help officials determine if historic shipwreck poses oil pollution threat  This sonar image shows the bow of the S. S. Montebello, which broke off when the ship sank to the seafloor.
Experts hope to use sonar images of a sunken ship off California’s coast to determine whether the vessel is at risk of leaking oil. The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) sent a robotic submersible down to the wreck of the S. S. Montebello last week in an effort to assess the condition of the ship.  Randy Prickett, pilot for MBARI's remotely operated vehicle Doc Ricketts, talks about the vehicle with a young visitor.
