Deep-sea anglerfish are strange and elusive creatures that are very rarely observed in their natural habitat. This little angler, about 9 cm long, is also known as the Black Seadevil and it lives in the deep dark waters of the Monterey Canyon. It was observed for the first time at 600 m (1900ft) on a midwater research expedition in November 2014. It is believed to be the first video footage ever made of this species alive and at depth.
These images record a significant period in history and are made up of 40 Union and 20 Confederate pictures.
