5. Odyssey first located the site of the Defendant Shipwrecked Vessel in the fall of 2008 using sonar and magnetometer equipment. Odyssey has undertaken a preliminary survey of the wreck site and has taken limited video and photographic images using a surface-controlled remotely operated vehicle ("ROV").

6. The Defendant Shipwrecked Vessel rests on the sea floor at a depth of approximately 400 meters, beyond the territorial waters or contiguous zone of any sovereign nation. The shipwreck's position is located in an area referred to herein as the "Salvage Area" and is defined by the afore-mentioned centerpoint coordinates. Upon information and belief, no other salvor is currently working on this site. To the best of Odyssey's knowledge, no salvor has sought to protect an interest in the vessel through an arrest. Odyssey has maintained actual, continuous, and exclusive possession or constructive occupancy of the wreck site to the extent this is possible.

7. The wreck site consists of vessel remains and unidentified objects. Odyssey believes that valuable cargo may be located at or near the site.
