Sad but incredible that the sub he designed went to the botton of the Marianna’s Trench. 7 miles times 5,000 feet per mile or 35,000 feet under the sea. Amazing.

The pressure on the hull would have been slightly more than 15000 lbs/square inch.

Amazing ain’t the word for it. Especially that they used gasoline for ballast fluid.
