KevinR Posted January 10, 2015 Share #1 Posted January 10, 2015 I was searching through the Library of Congress "Historic American Engineering Record" for information on ships and boats and came across this record. I had never heard of the Sub Marine Explorer. It was a submarine built in 1865, to harvest pearls. It was abandoned in Panama after a couple of years use. http://www.loc.gov/pictures/collection/hh/item/cz0044/ AntonyUK, hornet, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Quote Kevin Hampton, VA Current Builds: Skipjack Albatross - 1:32 On Hold: Yacht Atlantic - Scientific Completed: Ships Boat - MS - First Planked Kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this article covers such a lot in the PDF file. Regards Antony. KevinR 1 Quote Best advice ever given to me."If you don't know ..Just ask.
