If any prospective crew members would like to see the prototype of the semi- submersible that we are to construct click here,

Obviously this is of welded construction not riveted and less than nine tons in weight, we will be adding hatchways and trawling tackle for catching the Sea Scopium.

For entertainment on our long voyages we will have a harmonium rigged to an auxiliary compressor driven by the Lister CS powerplant. We were considering a television in the mess but the one we have made was too dangerous, it would kill you if you were in the same room !

Mr Beeching is to be Captain, Mr Gunn deckhand and trawl operator, Mr Green ships blacksmith Jim will be in charge of the ballast tanks and I will be stoker. As we are all semi literate we will need a crew member who is educated and can navigate, Would you like to join our expedition Mr. Byrne?
