1960: The diving submersible Trieste descends to the floor of the Mariana Trench, the deepest known place on earth. via Wired
Some pictures from Kevin sent along awhile ago from a “old” submersible chapter from Hill’s The Sea from 1963. The chapter itself is authored by Dietz and covers bathyscaphs and other deep submerisbles for oceanographic research. You can read and see more of the Trieste here.

That would be a very exciting trip! I have to admit that I would be at least a little bit scared, but an exciting trip for sure!
