This edition of the Ships log was authored by Donald Freeman, Sonar operator, Diver and Mate on board the MV Diamond during her latest voyage to Florida and Haiti . It's a first hand account of his experiences and observations during this leg of the project, which took place in Jan. 2004. This is the introduction to the complete 23 page story—which is available in PDF format.
Other Ships Log Journals will be posted from time to time to provide personal perspectives from the folks who live and work on these projects. We hope it provides a better insight into the daily workings of our business and the people who do this for a living.
