It’s not often I get to talk about three of my favorite subjects in a single post: cetaceans; 19th century technology; and maritime archaeology. But it seems an exceedingly rare Howell torpedo has been found off the coast of Coronado, California – by dolphins trained by the U.S. Navy.
Honestly, this is amazing. There was only one of these that was known to exist, and now another has been found in the ocean… by dolphins. It just boggles the mind. It makes me wonder if anyone has ever tried using dolphins to deliberately search for shipwrecks.
