The article discusses the role of CSIRO's RV Investigator in finding and identifying Australian shipwrecks. The research vessel, equipped with advanced acoustic systems and seafloor mapping technology, has been instrumental in recent shipwreck discoveries. Collaboration between various stakeholders, including researchers, heritage agencies, and the public, has been crucial in these findings. Shipwreck discoveries not only provide insights into historical tragedies but also help manage and protect these sites. With thousands of shipwrecks still undiscovered, RV Investigator's ongoing scientific upgrades will continue to contribute to maritime research and uncover more mysteries.

The article discusses the role of Research Vessel (RV) Investigator, an Australian marine RV, in marine science. The RV will help to map the ocean floor to any depth, search for resources, better understand the fisheries, and collect weather data 20-kilometre into the atmosphere. The RV heralds a new era in marine and atmospheric research for Australian scientists and their international collaborators.
