USS Ozymandias

The USS Ozymandias is a location in Point Lookout It is the wreck of a ship beached on rocks off the coast.

Background
The Ozymandias was a research ship operated by Bysshe Company Energy Partners. The vessel was sent to the Point Lookout region to survey natural gas deposits. It was destroyed by Dr. Martin J. Roach, a Bysshe employee posing as an intern.

Bysshe was using the Ozymandias to scout the Point Lookout area for viable signs of bio-gas in the soil. The lead geologist, Caroline Saunders, was considered by Bysshe to be dangerous, as she was a "known liberal with academic ties." The bio-gas was formed from the decomposition of human remains, as American Civil War soldiers were buried here. Saunders figured this out and Roach was forced to enact Code Blue in an attempt to prevent her from speaking out.

Layout
The ship's wreckage can be seen just off the coast. There are items in the pilothouse, and a hatch leading below the deck. Off the side of the deck towards the open water, there is a submerged container with several metal containers around it. The interior is partially filled with water and is tilted to the side.
