What is the maximum depth achieved by a man made submarine?
The deepest depth achieved by a manned submersible was achieved by the Bathyscaphe Trieste in January of 1960, manned by co-designer Jacqus Piccard (now deceased), and U.S. Navy Lt. Don Walsh.Surveying the deepest point in the oceans, the Challenger Deep area of the Mariana Trench in the Pacific off of the Marianas Islands group, it descended to a depth of nearly 7 miles below the surface of the ocean - 35,761 ft, or 10,900 meters. That's over 1083 times normal atmospheric pressure on its hull at that depth, or 15,928 PSIA (lbs/square inch absolute).Noted filmmaker James Cameron's Deepsea Challengerrecently (March 2012) completed the first ever solo dive to the Challenger Deep with him aboard, touching down at a depth of 35,756 ft, just a few feet shy of Trieste's dive.
How far down has the Bathyscaph Trieste journeyed?
Bathyscaphe X- the prototype ( made in Italy) went down over two miles on depth trials prior to l953 when the Trieste (I) was launched. the Trieste went to the bottom of the Marianas Trench- over 35,000 Feet down inthe Pacific, this is still a record for a manned submarine vessel. Yes, as it has a rudder and props a Bathyscaphe is considered to be a form of Submarine vessel, and the Funk and Wagnalls article clearly states so. The entire upper hull is used for Ballast tanks and they have both regular ballast and what is called anti-ballast to maintain depth the latter usually being aviation gasoline but in more modern ones Acetylene in Red bottles is used for anti-ballast (maintain buoyancy at depth) anti-ballast is not , in any circumstances, vented to sea- a catastrophic fire hazard with either gasoline or acetylene though the latter fluid is somewhat safer to handle. Familiar to welders it is treated with respect in its red bottles. so take the plunge, if you dare. Both the Bathyscaphe X of l947 and the Trieste I were largely- Made In Italy- pride runs deep as do still waters.
