Dive into the science of submarines
by exploring the S101, a real submarine on display at the Miami Science
Museum courtesy of the OceanGate Foundation! The S101 is one of the
earliest diesel-electric subs ever constructed. Built in England it has
had an interesting history; it’s been tested by the Swedish navy, owned
at one point by an environmental group who painted it like an orca to
chase whales away from whalers (which they never actually did), and then
purchased by a private owner who improved its mechanics and dove it 35
times exploring Lake Washington and Puget Sound.
