The award ceremony took place November 16, 2010, at the Marriott Marquis in New York City. This past August, Davino brought together a team of archaeologists, oceanographers, and scientists for a 20-day excursion to the RMS Titanic wreck site. Having partnered on the mission with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the Waitt Institute, the trip has become known as “a mission of firsts” as rev- olutionary technologies were employed, including acoustic imag- ing sonar and exceptionally high-res- olution 3-D imaging, to produce the first comprehensive view of the entire RMS Titanic wreck site. The team was able to map the site with greater accuracy than that achieved on any previous wreck site explo- ration. Richard Heller, the New York Navy League Dinner Chairman, said that it was Chris Davino's energy and focus that brought about the recent successful dive of the RMS Titanic.
