Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Kittrege Type Sub in Sandpoint, Idaho?



Have a look in the Kittredge book. In the photo-section you see a picture of a K250 with an extra viewport. It was built for mr. Earnest Brooks. He wanted these extra ports to be able to see the bottom while still sitting upright. See page 241.

That extra view port in the side is different (I've not see that
before).  Could this be a VASH proto-type? or is it more recent
than that?

Brent,

That's a very early K-250. The acrylic dome is standard, but you can tell it's an oldie from the external reinforcement around the coning tower base, which was later found to be unnecessary.

rgds,

Alec

I found this Kittrege type sub near me in Sandpoint, Idaho in from of a business owned by Don Cox.

From what I can gather the sub is owned by Don Cox who had it in Alaska for a time. Has any one here seen this sub before or worked on it??? I've never seen a Kittrege type sub with a acrylic type dome hatch. I wouldn't be to surprised if there was, but I thought it was interesting none the less. It's obviously been retired, but it was cool to see. I'm going back soon to see if I can talk with the owner Don. They run a log salvage business bringing old logs up from the bottom of Lake Pend Oreille. I have more pics if people are interested in some of the design details.
