I’d like to be… under the sea…
A recent acquisition at Mystic Seaport Museum. This little cutie is Asherah, an early research submersible commissioned in the 1960s by George Bass for shipwreck research off of Turkey. Built by Electric Boat. I had fun writing a sign for it after it came in! #maritimehistory #maritimearchaeology
