Deep Sea Vision (DSV), a South Carolina-based exploration company has released a sonar image they say may be the remains of the plane of Amelia Earhart, the famed American aviatrix, who disappeared along with her navigator Fred Noonan over the Pacific Ocean in 1937.

What the latest evidence suggests is that her plane, a twin-engine Lockheed Electra, did not crash but ran out of fuel and was expertly ditched near Howland Island for which they were making. But it sank too quickly for an SOS to be sent, and too far from land or assistance.

Some experts have challenged the notion that the sonar image really does show her plane.
