[PSUBS-MAILIST] New Submarine

[Alan James via Personal_Submersibles]

Wow, quite a bit of history.I noted that there was a memorial video that came up for Dr Eugene Clark, who passed awayin 2015. Perhaps this would be a good project for an organization like the "Discovery Channel" to document over the next few years.Alan

Pisces VI was purchased from HYCO in 1976. It was in operation by IUC until 1989 when it was on its way back from Singapore to New York when the aft buoyancy sphere was unhooked at sea for some reason and rolled off the deck and lost in the ocean. It had been store in the IUC warehouse till about 3 years ago when it was transported to IUC's production building in Green Bay, WI where it has been ever since. I have been searching for a deep diving hull for 4 years now and after a long search all over the world (including negotiating with the Russians which is very hard to do) I negotiated the purchase of Pisces VI from IUC. Pisces VI was a major part of the William Bebee expedition in the 1980's which Dr. Eugine Clark did her observation from of the 6 gilled sharks and countless other animals. It has a rich history. Here is a National Geographic video involving Pisces VI. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0i87GL3hhM Thank you,Scott Waters

Santa's sleigh this year was a semi truck bringing me the deep sea vehicle Pisces VI which is a 8,300 foot deep diving research submarine that made countless discoveries an changed the way we look at our oceans today. I am in the process of building a new state of the art shop and have put together a team of experts to do the rebuild. In her current state she weighs 26,000lbs, is 21 feet long, 8.5 feet wide, and 12 feet high. I am hopping the rebuild can be done in 3-4 years. Here we go psubbers!
