Sealab: America's Forgotten Quest to Live and Work on the Ocean Floor
Published by Simon & Schuster, 2012
ISBN 10: 0743247450 ISBN 13: 9780743247450
First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. Sealab is the underwater Right Stuff: the compelling story of how a US Navy program sought to develop the marine equivalent of the space station-and forever changed mans relationship to the sea.While NASA was trying to put a man on the moon, the US Navy launched a series of daring experiments to prove that divers could live and work from a sea-floor base. When the first underwater habitat called Sealab was tested in the early 1960s, conventional dives had strict depth limits and lasted for only minutes, not the hours and even days that the visionaries behind Sealab wanted to achieve-for purposes of exploration, scientific research, and to recover submarines and aircraft that had sunk along the continental shelf. The unlikely father of Sealab, George Bond, was a colorful former country doctor who joined the Navy later in life and became obsessed with these unanswered questions: How long can a diver stay underwater? How deep can a diver go?Sealab never received the attention it deserved, yet the program inspired explorers like Jacques Cousteau, broke age-old depth barriers, and revolutionized deep-sea diving by demonstrating that living on the seabed was not science fiction. Today divers on commercial oil rigs and Navy divers engaged in classified missions rely on methods pioneered during Sealab.Sealab is a true story of heroism and discovery: men unafraid to test the limits of physical endurance to conquer a hostile undersea frontier. It is also a story of frustration and a government unwilling to take the same risks underwater that it did in space.Ben Hellwarth, a veteran journalist, interviewed many surviving participants from the three Sealab experiments and conducted extensive documentary research to write the first comprehensive account of one of the most important and least known experiments in US history.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. [10], 388, [2] pages. Sealab Aquanaut Rosters. Notes. Index. Ben Hellwarth is a journalist, author, editor, ghostwriter, and all-purpose wordsmith. He won a number of notable awards during a 15-year stretch working full time for newspapers before landing a contract with Simon & Schuster to write his first book, the well-received nonfiction narrative SEALAB: America's Forgotten Quest to Live and Work on the Ocean Floor. It's the first book to tell the full story of a game-changing U.S. Navy project of the 1960s whose legacy lives on in deep-sea diving and manned undersea operations. Parade magazine called SEALAB "as captivating as an adventure novel." A rigorous approach to research and reporting has long been a hallmark of Ben's journalism, especially when it comes to explaining the complicated science and technology involved in the SEALAB ventures. Derived from a Kirkus review: Hellwarth chronicles American efforts to create an underwater habitat that would open the ocean's depths to exploration, at the same time that astronauts were racing to the moon. In 1959, Navy doctor George Bond, was given the project to train and equip seamen to escape from damaged submarines while avoiding the bends. Bond envisaged expanding the program beyond rescue missions to encompass a wide range of underwater activities-scientific and industrial as well as military. President Kennedy in 1961 proposed a major underwater exploration program as a matter of absolute necessity to the national interest. This resulted in the creation of the Sealab program, which Bond led. The space and underwater exploration programs shared key personnel such as Malcolm Scott Carpenter, the astronaut who also led a Sealab II team that lived underwater successfully for 30 days. The Sealab III mission developed a serious leak, and that aspect of the program ended-although offshoots from it continued. Another offshoot was the development of technology necessary for off-shore drilling of oil and gas. First Simon & Schuster hardcover edition [stated]. Presumed first printing.
