RE: Propane Tank Sub -- San Francisco?



Yes, Ben, That is the Dennoch. It was built by a group of students at
Stanford. I have some photos of it (and can email them to you upon
request) and a text description. I actually thought Ray had some photos
of it on the PSUBS web site (right Ray?).

I do not think that sub is still there.

Brian.

	Does anybody know anything about a one atmosphere submersible
built from
	a propane tank on display somewhere on the waterfront in San
Francisco?
	(A friend of mine was telling me about it...)  I was wondering
who built
	it, what it's specs are, and all that good stuff?  I'm
especially
	interested in the tank size, how the hull was reinforced, and
whether it
	was actually seaworthy?
