Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Cameron in the Challenger Deep

Cameron is way more than a dabbler in both fields. He is a deep sea explorer and the director of The Abyss and Titanic. When I have a moment I'll find an article from an old Popular Science. I think Phil's subs worked in the Abyss, so he must know him.

I don't see Experimental painted on it, so it must be a custom build.   :)

I'm curious, is Cameron a scientist that dabbled in film, or a director that dabbles in submarines.  I agree with Vance, that's a hell of a personal sub.  Maybe we should invite him to Michigan.

I'm getting word today that James Cameron and company have already completed a 5 mile deep test dive and are sending the sub unmanned all the way into the trench this week. Maybe today. The 7 1/4 mile manned deep will follow shortly thereafter. How's that for a psub?
