This British Geological Survey (BGS) regional marine sampling survey (comprised of four legs) took place from March to May 1974 in North Sea and Bristol Channel on board the MV Whitethorn. Seabed samples and cores were collected using Shipek grab, Gravity corer, Vibrocorer and wireline drilling equipment. Subsurface data were gathered using a Sparker seismic instrument, 52km, See 1974/WH/9. These data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS Internal Report 74/9 &14.
