Join photographer and seaman Craig Dickson as he shares images of the deep submersible vehicle ALVIN, which was originally on RV Lulu up to 1983, then on the Atlantis Il from 1984-96, and has been on the Atlantis since 1997. His photos share a unique view into what it was like for scientists and seamen who worked with ALVIN every day for many years, documenting how things worked while at sea and what changes were made as development of ALVIN progressed. For this presentation, the photos he will share are entirely from his time at sea, showing the varied conditions over the years in many oceans.
