Members of the underwater archaeology expedition clear fallen vegetation blocking access to their boat launch site on Panama's Chagres River. This daily struggle against the relentless tropical growth represents one of many logistical challenges faced by Fritz Hanselmann's team while searching for both Morgan's lost ships and, unexpectedly, documenting the remarkably preserved Spanish merchant vessel Encarnación. The dense jungle that once hindered Morgan's privateers in 1671 continues to present obstacles to modern researchers attempting to unveil the maritime history of this strategically vital waterway that served as the original Panama Canal.
