Description: |
ex libris with the usual markings, includes many photos dust jacket shows some chipping around the edges and some residual library sticker on back, corners are bumped "this is the story of the first extended use of research diving submersible as it happened in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Southern California... the author traces the history of this small, unique, and very amazing craft and gives us a detailed explanation of its structure and functions... the dives themselves are recorded mostly in the words of the scientists as they describe the scenes and phenomena viewed on the ocean floor. The achievements of the team proved the real value of the research submersible to the scientist in his search for knowledge of this new frontier." |
