Explorer Shackleton's last ship found on ocean floor

The remains of the ship, a 38m-long schooner-rigged steamship, were discovered at the bottom of the Labrador Sea on Sunday by a team led by The Royal Canadian Geographical Society (RCGS).

Hundreds of people visit his grave on South Georgia every year to pay their respects to the man known by his crews simply as "The Boss".

After his [sic] Ernest Shackleton's death, Quest was involved in other important expeditions, including the 1930-31 British Arctic Air Route Expedition led by British explorer Gino Watkins, who himself tragically died aged 25 while exploring Greenland.

So whats up with the shadow? Does it work in a separate emitter/mic configuration where hitting the ground next to the ship means the reflected sound gets blocked by the hull or someting?
