Comments:
Both targets were re-imaged on sonar and a photo image was captured of contact #42, unfortunately contact #43 was in a gap in the photos shot and could not be positively identified through that media. With the imagery collected with the high frequency sonar #43 appears to be a pipe sticking out of the seafloor. Both of these targets are most likely from a passing ship throwing unwanted scrap over the side. Target #42 appears to be some sort of metal chain or linkage. It is consistent with the sonar record. The sonar imagery for #42 was recorded while the vehicle was turning. This made the image appear curvy and longer than it actually was.
