Loch Ness Research
THE ARCHIVE ROOM A-Z Author List Simply a list and the quickest way to find a publication or study where the author is known. Links are provided where possible. University course dissertations are included, though links are currently to abstracts only. Copies are generally held by the Loch Ness Project Library. Research.and exploration of Loch Ness authors and scientific papers. An historical list of contemporary documents and investigation of the Loch Ness Monster. More Here The Timeline Mainly the investigations of the Loch Ness Monster controversy and as its name suggests, is a chronological history with the source references inserted and linked where possible. Because it is designed to show the evolution of method and thought, departures are made from the historical chronology where it seems relevant. The archive is restricted to expeditions or other studies where authoritative reports or published papers have been produced. Thus, newspaper material is only used where it is authored by the investigators themselves and in one case where a newspaper reporter was himself a principal investigator. Sometimes it has not been possible, for copyright or other reasons, to include an important item. Books, for example, or some journal publications have simply been referenced. For the same reason most items are reproduced in a PDF secure (read only) form. Where possible the material retains its original appearance but some is rearranged for screen viewing. If necessary, documents have been digitally retouched for legibility. The kind assistance given by the copyright holders is gratefully acknowledged. Editorial bias: The inclusion of items mostly reflects whether material is considered "diligent" and it is hoped that no injustice has been done. The remaining scope for bias lies within those passages which attempt to link the pages of the archive and to demonstrate interaction or debate within them. These passages may reflect the author's personal opinions.

Searching for John Cobb's Crusader Jet boat. On September 29 1952 John Cobb, the famous Brooklands racing hero, holder of many speed records, died after his boat Crusader disintegrated after hitting a boat-wake during a world water speed record attempt on Loch Ness. He became the fastest man on water (206.89mph) though did not achieve the record since the accident occurred before he could complete a second run over the measured mile. At the end of the measured mile Crusader nose-dived into the deep dark waters of Loch Ness. John Cobb's body was swiftly pulled from the water by his support team and the wreckage from crusader sank to depths of over 200m. The search for Crusader 2002. Skipper, John Minshull and Adrian Shine spent many long nights sweeping the plotted line with sonar and mapping the site. By June the Loch Ness Project was satisfied they had at least found the debris field. At this point the American Academy of Applied Science, on expedition at the loch, announced an interest in finding the Cobb wreck during the last 2 days of their visit. They were assisted by Gordon Menzies, a resident, owner of Temple Pier. The search for Crusader 2019 Crusader Found! 2019 Kongsberg and Loch Ness Project find the wreck of Crusader.

EXPLORE LOCH NESS Tour Loch Ness. Loch Ness is the greatest volume of freshwater in the British Isles, containing more indeed than all the lakes and reservoirs of England and Wales put together. This 23.5 mile stretch of water is famous the world over for the legendary Loch Ness Monster and has also been a route way for human activity for thousands of years. The loch's surface conceals a surprising variety of habitats and remarkable dynamic processes. Underwater world. Fault-line origins have wrought a trench-like basin of remarkable uniformity and depth, with steep rocky walls sloping to a flat silt bed. A maximum depth of 230m (754ft) was found by Sir John Murray's Bathymetrical Survey of 1903 which varies little from a depth of 227m (745ft) recorded during the hydrographic survey by the Loch Ness Project in 1991. This depth is second only to Loch Morar (310m, 1017ft) among the British lakes. The catchment area, of 1,775 square kilometres, is mostly hard rock and yields few chemical nutrients to the dark peaty water entering the loch by seven main rivers and about 100 streams. More Here. Tools of the Trade. Telephoto Lens Silhouette System ROSETTA Corer Sampler Pequod The John Murray Machan SDubmersible Munin REFLECTIONS & KEY TO SIGHTINGS It was announced that Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) was forming a Loch Ness Environment policy with a view to developing a code of practice for visiting Loch Ness monster hunters who might inadvertently cause damage to the loch's habitats, or individual creatures within it. This move was prompted by the proposal of a Swedish monster hunter and ufologist Jan Sundberg, to place a 6m long creel trap in Loch Ness. The SNH area manager Jonathan Stacey, made it clear that they had no policy on Nessie as such and the prime aim was to "protect the known from those pursuing the unknown. A Key to Loch Ness Monster Sightings It is fair to say that no visitor to Loch Ness passes by without some sense of expectation and many would hold that a predisposition to see monsters is, in itself, a sufficient explanation for the controversy surrounding this enigmatic expanse of water. Indeed, it was the subject's first author, Rupert Gould (1934) who discussed what he called "expectant attention". However, it was to be thirty years before a proper investigation of the monster sightings phenomena was undertaken. In some ways this research was to provide verification for some quite bizarre experiences and to confirm that there was indeed something special about Loch Ness. More Here Definition Bearing the foregoing in mind, perhaps the broadest definition of a monster "sighting" may be, "anything seen at Loch Ness which the observer does not recognise". Some may seek explanation; others find revelation within the experience. For some, a sighting may be a life-altering event.
