<div dir="ltr">I was lucky enough to go all through that boat when it was up in Seattle in 1968 to film "Octopus Octopus" even went down the observation tube in the bow. Very small area at the bottom just big enough for a pallet and had a phone to the bridge.<div>Was surprised to see the fake fiberglass things that they put on their doubles to make them look cool! Mr. Costue was up in Alaska at the time so didn't get a chance to meet him. Crew was very friendly. Had a lot of playboy mags in the galley.😂</div><div><br></div><div>Rick</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Mar 11, 2025 at 1:03 PM Tim Novak via Personal_Submersibles <<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">It's certainly an exciting opportunity.
