向深海出发（2008）

but also in terms of the early seafaring activities
但是早期的那些海洋活动
in this particular part of the Atlantic Ocean.
也基本上都是在大西洋的这片海域中
This ocean has been especially important in shaping the history
这片海域对于我们的历史至关重要
of Britain and the United States, bringing settlers, trade, even war.
特别是对英国和美国 的移♥民♥ 贸易 甚至是战争
Lucy wants to investigate a battle between Britain and America
露西想要研究英国 和美国之间的战争
by identifying a significant shipwreck,
通过调查一艘遇难的船只
one that might be the HMS Southampton.
可能是HMS南开普敦号♥
There are so many incidences of shipwrecks in this area.
这个海域有很多沉船事故
I mean the "Bahamas" in Spanish means "shallow waters".
巴哈马 在西班牙语中是浅水区
We don't know if...
我们不知道如果
The war was a dispute over Atlantic trade routes
战争就在争夺大西洋的贸易航线
between England and America in 1812,
那是1812年在英国 和美国之间展开的
shortly after the War of Independence.
也就是美国独♥立♥战争之后不久
A shipwreck has been found on a reef near Conception Island.
在概念岛附近的暗礁中 我们找到了遇难船只
It's not been mapped at all. It's not been surveyed extensively.
还没有准确的地图 没多少调查
It certainly hasn't been excavated.
也肯定没有被人打捞过
So, you know, it hasn't really been investigated.
所以没有被人调查过
Lucy wants to find out if this wreck is the HMS Southampton.
露西想看看这个船 是不是HMS南开普敦号♥
She wasn't actually that big, she was only about 120-odd feet,
实际上没有多大 只有120英尺长
carrying 32 guns.
带有32门炮
That's a lot of guns for 120 feet.
对于一个120英尺的船来说 32门炮已经很多的了
I know, and a crew of nearly 200 or something.
我知道 还有差不多200多个船员
It must have been actually quite, quite cramped.
间距非常的小
Awfully close, and they spent a lot of time at sea back then.
他们在海底很长时间了
I know, totally.
这我知道
It will be interesting to see if that compliment of guns and anchors
要是看到火炮和锚 那就会很有意思了
and everything actually are reflected on the seabed.
所有的东西都在海床上
But the weather may scupper their plans.
但是天气也许会破坏他们的计划
We should be prepared for some kind of jiggery-poker with the schedule,
我们要做好准备 随时改变我们的行程
or maybe not even making it, I don't know.
或许我们根本就没法下去 我不知道
Oh, really?
哦 真的吗?
Yeah, they're talking, you know, gale force.
是啊 说要起狂风了
Really? Yeah, so...
真的? 真的 所以
And how long is that likely to last?
要持续多久呢?
Well, we don't even need gale force.
都用不着狂风
If it's on the edge of 20 knots,
要是风速达到20海里
it'll be on the edge of our diving capability.
我们基本就不能潜水了
The weather moves in and conditions deteriorate rapidly.
坏天气到了 天气恶化很快
This is just not what we want at all.
这才不是我们想要的
And, as ever, it's a tight schedule, so if we don't get a move on...
因为我们的行程很紧 所以要是我们不继续的话…
As well as the shipwreck,
除了沉船以外
they also need to fit in a challenging dive with sharks,
跟鲨鱼潜水 也是他们要进行的挑战
so they decide to press on.
所以他们决定继续航行
After hours of forging through choppy seas,
在海中航行一个小时之后
they finally get near the shipwreck.
他们终于到达了 那个遇难船只的地方
It's not getting any better, and the boat's rocking,
情况不是很好 船只都摇摆了
and it's blowing like crazy, so it's not making our job any easier.
风吹得很厉害 这给我们的工作带来了不便
With the wind, the current and this position,
因为有风还有这个洋流 和现在的位置
it's a bit marginal really.
这就是在挑战极限
In these conditions,
在这样的情况下
it's easy to see how a ship could founder on this reef.
很容易明白 为什么船只会触礁沉没
Now Lucy can finally try to discover whether it is the Southampton.
现在露西可以去看看 是不是南开普敦号♥了
Well, there's an anticipation, but also,
正如预测 但是
you just don't know what you're going to find, do you?
你不知道你会找到什么 对吧?
So that's quite exciting, really.
真的很令人兴奋
Several metres down, conditions are much better,
几米以下的地方 情况要好多了
so Lucy and Philippe start their detective work.
所以露西和菲利普 开始他们的侦探工作了
I'm just trying to find any clues of the wrecking of the ship.
我想找到失事的船的痕迹
I'm trying to see if I can find any of the cannon or the anchor.
我看看能不能够找到 大炮 锚什么的
Ah-ha! Look! Philippe. Philippe. Philippe!
啊哈 你看 菲利普 菲利普
Look at that!
你看那
Look, you can see one, two...
你可以看到 一 二
There's loads of cannon all over the place.
那儿有很多大炮
Any exposed wood will long have rotted away,
暴露在外的木头肯定都腐烂了
but there are artefacts spread over a wide area.
但是其它的地方 还可以看到一些人工制品
Once you've trained your eyes, there are cannon everywhere.
要是你眼力好的话 随处都可以看到大炮
Another one over there. They're just lying here.
那儿还有一个 就在那儿
Look, here's another one here.
这儿还有一个
I've never seen so many cannon in such a concentrated area on a ship before.
在海船上我还从来没有看到过 这么多大炮这么密集地排放
Just look at the size of this thing.
你看 真大呢
I mean, it's about as long as I am.
跟我差不多高
But are these cannons from the Southampton?
但是这些是南开普敦的吗?
The Southampton had 32 guns.
南开普敦有32门炮
There were 26 of these 12-pounders. I think this is a 12-pounder.
有26个12磅弹丸炮 我想这就是其中一个
We need to measure it.
我们要测量一下
The 12-pound guns on the HMS Southampton
南开普敦号♥上的12磅弹丸炮
were said to be between six-and-a-half and seven feet long.
据说有6.5到7英尺长
It's about 6'7".
应该差不多6.7
So this is the right kind of cannon then, Lucy?
那么这个炮没错吧?露西
I think so, I think so.
我想是
Ah, the other thing that's quite distinguishing about this
它还有一点是很独特的
is that the 12-pounders of this era
12磅弹丸炮的这个部分
have these little sort of rings attached to their ends,
末端还有这样一个吊环
which was quite unusual. Not many of the cannons had these.
这不一般 不是所有的炮 都是这个样子的
So that looks like one of the types of cannon
所以这门炮很可能
that the vessel would have been originally consigned with.
是船只本身自带的
The cannons alone aren't enough for a positive identification.
仅有炮做证据还不够
Lucy needs to find more evidence.
露西需要找到更多的证据
Philippe, look, look, look, look!
菲利普 你看 你看
It's huge! This is just incredible.
太大了 难以想像
I mean, you can see this anchor just sitting here.
你看到 锚就在那儿
It's a British anchor.
是英国的锚
You can see because of the V-shaped arms at the bottom of the anchor.
因锚臂的底部有个v字型部分
This is very distinctive of British naval vessel anchors.
那是英国海军船只特有的
If it was from an American vessel,
要是是美国的
it would have been more rounded at the base.
底部应接是圆形的
It's just another clue, in a way, as to understanding
这是另一条线索来鉴别
if this is the wreck of the HMS Southampton.
这是否就是南开普敦号♥残骸
I would have expected maybe to find a pile of chain or something
我想找找有没有铁链之类的东西
attached to the anchor that...
连在锚上的那种
I mean, that would have been iron that should still be here.
那是铁链 现在应该还有吧
No, no, no, not for this period, because they would have been using ropes
不 不 不 不是这个时期的 因为他们只会使用绳索
rather than chains to actually haul the anchor.
不会在锚上使用铁链
She probably would have thrown these anchors aground,
很可能是在晚间触礁时
as she wrecked here during the night.
在这里附近抛下的锚
By the morning, they realised that there was no saving the vessel
到早上的时候看到船已经没救了
and they had to abandon ship.
他们不得不弃船
So again, another clue confirming this is the HMS Southampton.
这是另外一个线索 证明这是南开普敦号♥
The size of the cannons
那个大炮的尺寸
along with the type and position of the anchors
还有那个锚的位置和型号♥
have convinced Lucy this is the HMS Southampton.
都表明这就是南开普敦号♥
It's a record of the November night in 1812
那是1812年11月份的一个夜里
when, towing a captured American ship to Jamaica,
它在拖着一艘俘获的美国船只 去牙百加的时候
she hit this reef and sank.
在这里撞礁沉没了
It brings to life an event and a particular battle
这生动的展现了这一事件 这一次战斗
that has been forgotten a lot in our histories, both UK and American.
英国和美国的很多人 都忘记这段历史了
The war was finally resolved with a treaty signed in 1814.
1814年英美达成协议 战争结束了
Neither side was victorious, but it confirmed the status
大家都没有赢
of the United States as a fully independent nation.
但是承认了美国 是一个独♥立♥的国家
You know what this impresses upon me?
你知道我有什么深刻印象吗?
I mean, the Atlantic played a huge role in that war alone,
我是说 大西洋在战争中 扮演了重要的角色
not to mention many, many others.
更不用提其它更多的战争了
Such a vast critical ocean.
这是片重要的大海
It is like a snapshot in time which basically the ocean has preserved
这只是大海留下的历史快照之一
for us to come and investigate,
等待我们来探究
and so in a way the ocean actually holds a story,
一定程度上大海就记录着很多历史
which we are very unlikely to find in any other context.
在其它的素材中是很难找到的
The Atlantic has helped shape our distant and more recent past.
大西洋塑造了 我们遥远和新近的历史
Now the expedition is heading northwest to investigate its future.
现在我们要去向西北去探究未来了
We're heading for north Bimini, aren't we?
我们要去北比米尼 是吧?
