Climb aboard Alvin, the famous deep-sea submersible credited with
helping to find the Titanic, and take a trip two miles down to the
bottom of the ocean.
Experience a day in the life of an Alvin pilot and join scientists at
the seafloor to collect samples and conduct research. Along the way,
discover what one wears, eats, and talks about during a typical
eight-hour trip in a underwater craft and find out more about the
animals that live deep in our oceans. Extensive back matter explains how
Alvin works, describes the author's research, and includes a glossary
and further reading.
