Description:
|
PEMBROKE PARISH. Open since 1997, this interactive center simulates an ocean dive 12,000 feet under the sea. Visitors sit in a small moving capsule, surrounded by the sights and sounds of a real submarine voyage. Other exhibits teach about Bermuda's shipwrecks, marine life and the history of undersea exploration. There's also a full-scale replica of Charles William Beebe's bathysphere. In 1934, just off the coast of Bermuda, he sat inside this cable-hoisted apparatus and was lowered 3,028 feet beneath the waves, thereby completing the world's first deep-sea dive. An exquisite collection of over 3,000 seashells is also on display. |
