Submarine Boat - Building Our Dreams
If your interest are in
exploration, discovery and adventure then what better than a boat to
take you were you want to go. SV Seeker is our 74 foot steel origami
hull, junk
rigged, cargo, motor sailer. Once completed she will be a part time research/charter vessel and full time home on the
water.
Recreating Simon Lake's 1894 wooden submarine.
A homemade hybrid diesel powered jet boat and ambient submarine.
Fishing poles,
rings, watches, sunken boats are some of the things found every day by Scuba
divers; but anyone and explorer the depths with an underwater ROV
(remotely operated vehicle). We built our low cost ROV in
just a few days and it took use to the bottom of the lake in perfect
safety.
The
machine age dawned when we learned to work metal. Cast metal, turn
it in a lathe, weld on it, and cut it apart with a computer
controlled plasma torch. There is nothing as diverse and
rewarding as working with metal.
As teens most of us stopped imagining a life of
achievement or adventure when we decided others were more talented.
Later, the cold weight of responsibility slowly crushed visions.
Today, old longings occasionally resurface, and out of self
preservation we push those back and settle. Settling is tragic. We
need our dreams - the bigger the better. Dreams provide hope,
inspiration and a sense of who we truly are.
