Ocean Revival project starts off with a couple of bangs
On Tuesday, October 30, two old warships were purposely sunk, off the coast of Alvor, thus marking the beginning of the Ocean Revival project.
Four explosives were used to sink the Oliveira e Carmo corvette – a disused warship – while dozens of other boats, both commercial and private, filled with onlookers, observed from at least half-a-mile away. It took two minutes and twenty-one second to sink the old corvette, three miles off the coast, where a pioneering underwater museum will be created.
