Alan,
From the link you provided below, I see that Sgt. Pepper's held the
Guinness World Record for a year or so after 1988. Pierre Poulin's sub
took the record in 2005, so there must have been at least one sub in between the
two. I'd love to know the story since from the numbers it looks like Sgt.
Pepper's is smaller. I wonder if one is calculated on
unballasted weight and the other on total displacement.
Regards,
Jim T

That's
very sad Carsten. There are two figures listed, 485kg & 400kg. I assume
that's the weight with & without a person but can't read German. If
that is the case it would be smaller than Pierres "worlds smallest sub"
wich is 620kg. There is a good history of sgt Peppers with a photo of
Carsten 23 years ago on the link below. (worth clicking the button just for
that) http://www.vulcaniasubmarine.com/CARSTEN%20SGT.htm
