Product Description: This program profiles the Submersible, one of the ultimate expressions of mankind's curiosity and thirst for adventure. Unlike their military cousins the submarines, which are designed exclusively as warships, Submersibles are geared toward research and exploration. Since they are developed not as a weapon but as a tool in man's quest for knowledge and scientific advancement, the role played by governments in funding and developing these unique vessels has been relatively limited. Instead, the effort has been led by a small group of maverick designers and their craft who have dared, over time, to pursue their own visions of undersea explorations. Included in this show is bathyscaph Trieste, noted for going to the bottom of the 38,000 foot deep Marianas Trench; the Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicle, designed to rescue trapped submarine crews; the Sea Link which has performed a myriad of undersea research and other highly specialized vessels that dive deeper and do more things than any other underwater craft in existence.
