    The Rock Saw
    Anthony gets to work cutting the rocks from dredge 127.  Each sample has to be cut into various shapes for processing, and this is the saw we use to do it.

    Slicing through the Clear Waters
    The clear water around Wallis island makes it easy to see the unique shape of the Kilo Moana's bow.
