Profile

Odyssey Marine Exploration, Inc. is an American company engaged in deep-ocean exploration with a focus on the discovery, development and extraction of subsea mineral resources. Starting out as a shipwreck pioneer, Odyssey has discovered some of the most famous deep-ocean shipwrecks in history including the SS Republic, "Black Swan", HMS Victory, and SS Gairsoppa. Their work has been featured on the Discovery Channel, PBS and National Geographic. In 2009, Odyssey announced it acquired a minority interest in SMM Project LLC., a company with licenses to explore in four different areas in the South Pacific. The group focused on the exploration and monetization of gold and copper-rich Seafloor Massive Sulfide deposits. This marked the beginning of Odyssey’s transition into a mineral exploration company.
