Sub Marine Explorer

The Sub Marine Explorer was built in New York by Julius Kroehl in the mid-1800s. Kroehl brought his invention to Panama's pearl islands for pearl fishing, but the craft was technically flawed, giving its occupants the "bends" or decompression sickness. It was abandoned near shore in 1865 and was rediscovered in 2001 by archaeologist Dr. James Delgado. In 2008, the Waitt Institute partnered with Dr. Delgado, the Institute of Nautical Archaeology and the Instituto Nacional de Cultura de Panama to complete documentation of the sub before the tides erode its hull into the sea.

I watch one video from the worlds greatest museum of everything. It is about an abandoned submarine built in a time that no one is sure of. At the same time the crew and builder/designer is gone.

Then, I watch is and I find the answers to my last post on the other video. Kind of embarrassing, but learning is worth it.
