Assessing the current state of a shipwreck using an autonomous marine robot: Szent Istvan case study

S.M.S. Szent Istvan, the only ship belonging to the Hungarian monarchy, met her end on June 10th 1918 shortly before dawn. It was sunk by Italian torpedo boats. On the 101st anniversary of this event the shipwreck was recorded for the first time by a multibeam sonarmounted autonomous surface vehicle. The shipwreck has already suffered irreversible degradation of her steel and iron hull. Thus, the main objective of the bathymetric surveys was to assess the current state of the shipwreck and to set up a foundation which future monitoring operations could be built upon and compared with.
