BILLIONS HELD
ON OCEAN BED

Must all the millions of dollars that
now lie at the bottom of the sea in
the form Of ships and their sunken
treasure be forever lost TO the world?
Most OF the vessels that have been
sunk. whether by accident or in the
course of the present war lie in com
paratively shallow waters, many Of
them at a depth OF less than 300 feet,
and the problem Of their recovery
does not seem entirely hopeless in
the light Of recent improvements IN
deep-sea diving and the feats accom-
plishcd by the expert divers Of the
United States Navy. The matter is the
subject Of an article in the current
number of "The Bulletin of the Pam
American Union,' Washington, D. c.

some of the wealth now lying in the
oceans depth. the writer states
Certain il is that the project Of
recovering sunken ships. or the most
valuable OF the treasures that have
gone down with them, is more feast
BILE now than il was only four or five
years ago. Such great Improvements
in diving apparatus have recently
been made that Il Is now possible for
diver to operate for limited time
even at the great depth Of 300 feet
below the surface. These improve.
ments are largely due to the remark
able experiments in deep-sea diving
conducted under the auspices Of the
Bureau of Construction and Repair Of
the Navy Department of the United
States in 1914 Prior to this time the
greatest depth reached by divers was
21O feet, two English officers having
accomplished that feat during a SER
les Of tests carried on by the British
Admiralty in 1907 For the benefit of
those who do not appreciate the diii-
Guilty Of diving to such depths il may
be stated that at Q. depth of ten feet
below the surface the pressure is ABB
pounds per square inch of surface Of
the body submerged This pressure
increases proportionately. AID at a
depth OF 100 feet it has increased to
4S.S pounds, and a depth of 300 feet
to 1919 pounds.
"Nothwithstanding this tremendous
pressure. the expert divers of the
United States Navy have succeeded in
not only reaching a depth OF 300 TO
305 feet. but in remaining at that
depth for from five to twenty minutes
at a time, making examinations and
! observations in regard to a sunken
vessel that made its subsequent sal
wage U1ssible. This work was done
in connection with the raising Of tho
United States Submarine F-4, which
Z will be remembered. plunged to the
bottom Of the sea Just off the harbor
of Honolulu. on March %, 1915. Not
only did the divers establish a new
worlds record for deep-sea diving up
on that occasion. hut the subsequent
raising and recovery Of the IA is the
only instance in history where a
sunken vessel was recovered from a
depth Of 300 feet"
