All of the IEASM excavations in Heracleion, Canopus, and Alexandria are based on our support ship, the Princess Duda. But we also have a couple of little inflatable speed boats and a small fleet of local Egyptian vessels that we use, called Felucca’s.
The Felucca’s are used to ferry people and gear back and forth to shore, to take the divers to their individual work sites, and to support the pumps and equipment for the various excavations.
Sometimes in the morning there are so many little boats gathered around the mother ship, she looks like she has a litter of puppies attached.
Our Egyptian friend Abunos is the master of all these support vessels, and makes sure that the are all working well and efficiently.
