First edition of this official account of the thirty-day Gulf Steam Drift. Octavo, original cloth, illustrated with black and white photographs. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Translated from the French by Denver Lindley.
Upon the research submarine, the Ben Franklin, Dr. James Piccard and his crew set off to silently observe 1500 miles of swirling waters and marine life in the Gulf Stream. Drifting motionlessly with the current with no electrical energy excluding some illuminating searchlights, they encountered underwater waves, performed sonic experiments, and made history in the margins of oceanography.
