Maxwell’s DOJ interview: TerraMar in the Epstein records
EFTA02846680.pdf; transcript/PDF pp. 157–159: p. 157 lines 11–25 (Bates EFTA02846836), p. 158 lines 2–21 (EFTA02846837), p. 159 lines 4–17 (EFTA02846838). A direct documentary bridge: TerraMar is explicitly discussed in an interview published in the Epstein Library, and Maxwell herself connected its closure to events surrounding Epstein. Limits: This is Maxwell’s own retrospective account and self-report, not a DOJ or judicial finding and not an email. It is not independent confirmation of her expeditions, partnerships or equipment ownership. It establishes neither Epstein financing nor criminal use of TerraMar, a submarine-pilot licence, an underwater base or Atlantis activity. It gives no precise US founding or closure date; this selected review is not a full-corpus search.

TerraMar (UK): incorporation and dissolution register
TERRAMAR (UK), company 08661523; overview fields “Incorporated on” and “Dissolved on”; linked Officers tab, Maxwell appointment entry (HTML, no page numbers). Official administrative records of a UK legal entity and Maxwell’s recorded role, with dates separate from the US nonprofit’s operating history. Limits: This UK company is not the US TerraMar Project Inc.; its incorporation and dissolution dates must not substitute for US founding or closure dates. Companies House does not check the accuracy of filed information. Registration does not establish actual conservation work, funding origins or criminal activity.
-
TerraMar (UK): charitable objects and registration history
TERRAMAR (UK), charity 1154106, database ID 5040517; Governance / Registration history and Charitable objects (HTML, no page numbers). A separately recorded charitable purpose and administrative removal date for the UK entity, rather than a reconstruction from US shutdown reports. Limits: The UK charity removal on 30 December 2019 is not the company dissolution on 3 December 2019 and is not the US nonprofit’s closure date. Stated objects do not verify actual conservation results, funding sources or legal control of international waters.

TerraMar Project Inc.: 2018 tax filing and officer loan
EIN 45-5091884; e-file ObjectId 201911359349206166; Form 990-EZ p. 2, Part III line 32 and Part IV; Schedule L p. 1, Part II; Schedule O explanation of Part II line 26. Viewer submission: 15 May 2019. The organisation’s reported officer role and outstanding loan balance supply concrete financial context. The amount is a balance owed to Maxwell, not the amount of new advances during 2018. Limits: These are the organisation’s own filed figures, not independent IRS verification or an audit. They do not establish the origin of Maxwell’s money, Epstein funding, money laundering or criminal use of TerraMar. Zero reported program-service expenses do not establish that no public activity occurred. This is the US nonprofit, not TerraMar (UK).

A judicially established Maxwell–Epstein connection, not a guilt-by-association inference from ocean advocacy or from a name appearing in a released file. Limits: This opinion does not establish that TerraMar participated in the crimes, or establish submarine operations, an underwater base or Atlantis activity. A review of this identified opinion is not a search of all court records or the full Epstein Library.

Limits: This is a DOJ administrative self-report, not independent verification of completeness. It does not establish an ocean-related email, a TerraMar funding link or an Atlantis connection. This dossier reviews selected documents, not the full corpus.
