This dataset contains geoscientific data logged during PACMANUS 3 (FR10/96) on RV Franklin 23.11-17.12.1996 in Manus Basin, Papua New Guinea. These data include logged station coordinates and information for sediment grabs and cores, CTD/hydrocast operations and samples, camera/video tows and footage, bathymetric surveys and geological and fauna samples. The aims of PACMANUS 3 cruise were to search for and study submarine hydrothermal deposits at several locations in the Bismarck and Solomon Seas, PNG, especially at the PACMANUS and Tumai Ridge sites defined by cruises FR08/91, FR05/93 in the Eastern Manus Basin. With very little time lost through breakdowns or bad weather, in 12 days 6 hours on station we conducted 39 dredges, 10 grabs, 19 sediment cores, 21 hydrocasts and tow-yos, 16 camera-video tows, and 13 echo-sounder traverses, covered by the issuing of 56 Operation Plans. A total of 236 km of cable was hauled, and a distance of 3490 miles sailed.
