  • Scuba Diving History
    Scuba diving history Scuba history from a diving bell developed by Guglielmo de Loreno in 1535 up to John Bennett’s dive in the Philippines to amazing 308 meter in 2001 and much more… Humans have been diving since man was required to collect food from the sea. The need for air and protection under water was obvious. Let us find out how mankind conquered the sea in the quest to discover the beauty of the under water world. 1535 – A diving bell was developed by Guglielmo de Loreno. 1650 – Guericke developed the first air pump. 1667 – Robert Boyle observes the decompression sickness or “the bends”. After decompression of a snake he noticed gas bubbles in the eyes of a snake. 1691 – Another diving bell a weighted barrels, connected with an air pipe to the surface, was patented by Edmund Halley. 1715 – John Lethbridge built an underwater cylinder that was supplied via an air pipe from the surface with compressed air. To prevent the water from entering the cylinder, greased leather connections were integrated at the cylinder for the operators arms. 1776 – The first submarine was used for a military attack. 1826 – Charles Anthony and John Deane patented a helmet for fire fighters. This helmet was used for diving too. This first version was not fitted to the diving suit. The helmet was attached to the body of the diver with straps and air was supplied from the surfa 1837 – Augustus Siebe sealed the diving helmet of the Deane brothers’ to a watertight diving suit and became the standard for many dive expeditions.

  • Divers Things: Collecting the World Under Water
    Hist. Sci., xlix (2011) DIVERS THINGS: COLLECTING THE WORLD UNDER WATER James Delbourgo Rutgers University I do not pretend to have been to the bottom of the sea. Robert Boyle, 1670 matter out of place Consider the following object as shown in an early eighteenth-century engraving (Figure 1). It is a piece of wood — not a highly worked thing, not ingeniously wrought, though it is an artefact of human labour rather than a natural body. Or is it? In the engraving, the piece of wood disappears: it is visible towards the bottom of the image, a sober pointed stump, but it is quickly subsumed by a second, enveloping entity that swirls about it in an embroidering corkscrew. What elements are here intertwin- ing? The legend beneath the engraving identifies the artefact thus: “Navis, prope Hispaniolam ann Dom 1659. Naufragium passae, asser, a clavo ferreo transfixus, corallio aspero candicante I. B. Obsitus, & a fundo maris anno 1687 expiscatus.” It describes a stake or spar from a ship wrecked off Hispaniola in 1659, which is transfixed by both an iron bolt and rough whitish coral, fished out of the depths in 1687. This collector’s item is neither the cliché of exemplarily beautiful coral nor straightforwardly a historical relic, but an intertwining of the two: the “transfixing” of a remnant of maritime technology by an aquatic agent. It exhibits the very proc- ess of encrustation. The spar is juxtaposed with the image of a jellyfish, and more proximately, engravings of Spanish silver coins, also encrusted with coral: “Nummus argenteus Hispanicus … incrustatus”, one of the labels reads.1 Still another illustra- tion, in a separate engraving, bears the legend “Frustum ligni e mari atlantico erutum cui adhaerescunt conchae anatiferae margine muricata” — a piece of “drift wood beset with bernecle [sic] shells”.

  • A Scilly Idea
    A SCILLY IDEA Why not sail from Lands End to the Isles of Scilly and then back again in a Wayfarer Dinghy? This somewhat seemingly crazy idea came about following a successful non-stop circumnavigation of the Isle of Wight in 2014. This is an annual event that is very well organised by Jenny Jeffs, John Norman and a team of supporting volunteers from the Wayfarer Association. What a brilliant idea I thought! And so almost a year later a date was placed on the calendar that met the requirements of tide and predicted weather conditions and which also suited all the expected participants. However the weather did its At 09.30 hrs we set off from the beach in a force 4 southerly own thing, bringing the intended proceedings to a halt just 24 wind on a close reach and following a bearing of 255 degrees hours before the scheduled departure time. We soon realised that took us out past the Longships Lighthouse. Once past that the only way forward was to throw the calendar out of the this point we went to a bearing of 235 degrees to take into window and to set a date for the outbound and inbound sail account tide drift. We made a call to Falmouth Coastguard that only took account of friendly weather conditions and that giving them our passage plan, number of crew and our ETA would therefore hopefully give us safe passage. at St Mary’s. They requested our vessel type and size as well as asking if we had anybody on shore that we were in contact This approach clearly identified a departure date of the 25th with.

  • JOHN LETHBRIDGE 1675–1759 Inventor and Diver
    JOHN LETHBRIDGE 1675–1759 Inventor and Diver It is a special kind of individual who, at the age of 39 living in a comfortable home with a caring wife and large family, sets out for the dangerous life of a world-travelling treasurer-seeking sea diver. Such an individual was the inspiring character John Lethbridge. His early upbringing was in and around the hamlet of Wolborough, near Newton Abbot. A member of the well respected Lethbridge family he was a trustee of endowed parish property in that hamlet and became established as a wool trader in Newton Abbot. Unfortunately, the decline of the wool trade in Devon created serious financial problems so he started thinking about other ways to make a living. In his own words: ‘Necessity is the parent of invention, and being in the year 1715 quite reduced, and having a large family, my thoughts turned upon some extra- ordinary method to retrieve my misfortunes, and was prepossesed that it might be practicable to contrive a machine to recover wrecks lost in the sea’. Why he should have decided on a sea faring venture is not entirely clear; perhaps it was because he lived in a county fortunate enough to have the open sea on two borders and with excellent ports. Considerable sea trade existed to the Americas, Africa and China through the towns of Plymouth, Dartmouth and Brixham so tales of shipwrecks must have been told throughout the county. It is possible that these stories influenced his idea of salvaging valuable cargo from sunken vessels. 69 Lethbridge started his new venture with a couple of experi- ments.

By way of catching up, we have produced a Summer double issue and have the good fortune to be able to publish with a color cover. Coinciding with the Santa Barbara relocation is the appointment, by the Board of Directors, of the first members of the HDS USA Advisory Board. This distinguished group of senior diving professionals, with extensive backgrounds in diving medicine, technical development, commercial, military and sports diving, bring in excess of 300 years of diving experience to the Society. Most of their biographies are the size of town phone directories, and have had to be severely edited for publication. We are honored and gratefulfortheir willing offers of service, and hope that we have done their biographies justice. Details start on page 4. The recently introduced, Founding Benefactor class of membership has proven to be very popular with over half of the thirty available memberships already taken. An opportunity still exists to acquire one of these unique memberships and details of it's benefits are noted on page 9. On the international front, the ongoing formation of the HDS USA as a nonprofit corporation has, by law, changed the conditions that govern our relationship with the HDS in UK.

The San Pedro left Callao, Peru, to Cadiz, Spain, in 1784. http://nautarch.tamu.edu/shiplab/baleal-ship-sanpedro.htm Case Studies: San Pedro de Alcantara, 1786 San Pedro de Alcántara’s holds were loaded with 600 tons of copper ingots, 153 tons of silver, and 4 tons of gold, together with a varied cargo, which included a collection of Chimu ceramics from the Hipólito Ruiz López and José Antonio Pavón Jiménez expedition in South America, from 1779 to 1788. Case Studies: San Pedro de Alcantara, 1786 Aboard were almost 400 people, between ere also a number of prisoners in irons, on the way to prison, related to the Andean uprising of 1780-81, led by José Gabriel Condorcanqui, better know as José Gabriel Túpac Amaru. Case Studies: San Pedro de Alcantara, 1786 After a long voyage, the ship hit a rocky promontory on the coast of Portugal around 22:30, in a calm and clear night, on the 2nd of February of 1786, with an extremely low tide, and was quickly destroyed. The accounts mention 128 dead and 270 survivors. Case Studies: San Pedro de Alcantara, 1786 Given the value of the cargo, the Portuguese authorities assisted in the first salvage attempts, provided warehouses to keep the cargo safe, and did their best to shelter and feed the survivors.

  • John Lethbridge and the Loss of the Victory
    Odyssey Papers 46 John Lethbridge and the Loss of the Victory Trevor Newman Independent Researcher, Plymouth He was a man highly esteemed for honour and integrity, and seemed to have been born for the express purpose of the discovery, as no danger ever annoyed him whilst he was at work on the wreck of a ship, with the water up to his chin and his breath expended, that one might almost say such another man was never produced. Commander Thomas Lethbridge RN, describing his grandfather, the diver John Lethbridge, 1821 (British Library, Add. Mss 9428, ff. 353-4, Thomas Lethbridge to the Reverend Daniel Lysons, 11 April 1821) * After three decades of shipwreck salvage, the pioneering veteran diver John Lethbridge approached the Admiralty in December 1744 with a proposition to seek and salvage the First Rate, 100-gun Victory using his self-designed diving-barrel. Lethbridge’s two letters of petition, and an accompanying note, are both important documents in the history of diving and for understanding the folklore that led to the belief that the Victory sank off the Caskets. This article presents John Lethbridge’s Victory letters in full for the first time, reconstructs the final hours of Admiral Balchen’s fleet, and speculates that the flagship’s loss may have been caused by her having brought by the lee after the ship was overtaken by huge waves from astern. © Odyssey Marine Exploration, 2015 describing his diving engine: “Necessity is the parent of 1. “Necessity is the invention, and being, in the year 1715, quite reduc’d, and Parent of Invention” having a large family, my thoughts turned upon some ex- In autumn 1744 John Lethbridge was approaching 70 years traordinary method, to retrieve my misfortunes...” of age, and had been diving for shipwreck using his own The “method” fully merited the adjective “extraordi- diving-barrel designs for nearly three decades.
