Expedition deep ocean [sound recording] : the first descent to the bottom of all five of the world's oceans / by Young, Josh(Joshua D.),author(CARDINAL)331412; Dove, Eric G.,narrator.(CARDINAL)564669;
Prologue: space to sea -- The exploration gene -- The search for a sub -- The sub builders -- Limiting factors -- Classing up the ship -- Team leaders -- Sweating out the summer -- Sea trials -- Circling the Titanic -- Weathering storms big and small -- Off the deep end -- Media matters -- Here be dragons -- The Java Script -- Dark, deep, and dangerous -- Breaking news -- Back to the Titanic -- Rolling through the deeps -- Epilogue: breaking the waves.Expedition Deep Ocean tells the inside story of this exploration of one of the most unforgiving and mysterious places on our planet, including the site of the Titanic wreck and the little-understood Hadal Zone. The expedition pushed technology to the limits, mapped hidden landscapes, discovered previously unknown life forms and began to piece together how life in the deep oceans affects our planet -- but it was far from easy. Vescovo and his team would design the most advanced deep-diving submersible ever built, able to withstand the deep ocean's pressure on the sub of 8 tons per square inch -- the equivalent of having 292 fueled and fully loaded 747s stacked on top of it. The hurricane-laden ocean waters and the byzantine web of global oceanographic politics only heightened the challenges.
