[PSUBS-MAILIST] Commercial

[Marc de Piolenc]

This is exactly what I've been thinking about for years.

Salvage work in particular is still very much a free-for-all, depending 
heavily on opportunity, initiative and personal contacts. If you had 
your own support vessel, or your sub were big enough to serve as its own 
support vessel, the world would be your oyster.

It was Simon Lake's memoirs that got me thinking along these lines. Once 
he had the capability, he created his own opportunities by submitting 
what amounted to business plans to people with the necessary means to 
capitalize the venture. He did the job, collected his share, made sure 
his "angels" got the rewards they expected, and moved on. It was Lake's 
memoirs, too, that got me thinking in terms of bottom-crawling capability.

Best,
Marc
