This is a Vector data set. It contains the following vector data types (SDTS terminology):
Horizontal positions are specified in geographic coordinates, that is, latitude and longitude. Latitudes are given to the nearest 0.000001. Longitudes are given to the nearest 0.000001. Latitude and longitude values are specified in Decimal degrees.
The horizontal datum used is North American Datum of 1983.
The ellipsoid used is WGS84.
The semi-major axis of the ellipsoid used is 6378137.000000.
The flattening of the ellipsoid used is 1/294.257222.
Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated.
Coordinates defining the features.

The purpose of this dataset is to release the locations and identifiers of 124 bottom photographs collected at 32 stations on topographic and backscatter data of the sea floor in Great Round Shoal, offshore Massachusetts. The photos were collected with a modified Van Veen grab modified to carry still and video camera systems (small SEABOSS) during USGS survey 06005, conducted June 26, 2006.

Data sources produced in this process:
All attributes were checked in a consistent manner
Navigation was by differential GPS.
Locations of all still photographs of the sea floor collected during the R/V RAFAEL cruise 06005 were included in this data set.
No additional checks for topological consistency were performed on this data.
Are there legal restrictions on access or use of the data?
