| Auguste Piccard conceived the bathyscaphe in the 1930s but became distracted by the allure of high-altitude ballooning. |
|
| For those who are interested, the bathyscaphe is a type of submersible observation chamber. |
|
| The scientist and Nelson, along with the boat's bathyscaphe was amazingly swallowed by a huge whale. |
|
| The biggest difference between a bathysphere and a bathyscaphe is that the bathysphere is heavier than water and the bathyscaphe is lighter. |
|
| Dr. Sylvia Earle, the world bathyscaphe specialist, shark expert and oceanographer, has written amply about the dying oceans. |
|
| William Beebe's bathyscaphe, based on a steel balloon, and the submersibles which followed, changed the way in which oceanographers were able to gather information. |
|
| One then invents a submarine, but it is the bathyscaphe that soon becomes essential. |
|
| Simply making the hull thicker increases the weight and requires reduction of onboard equipment weight, ultimately resulting in a bathyscaphe. |
|
| Castellammare is also a commercial and industrial centre, with an arsenal and a large shipyard where the bathyscaphe used by the Swiss physicist Auguste Piccard for marine exploration was built. |
|
| The maximum ocean depth, eleven kilometres, has been attained only once, in 1960, when two men peered for half an hour through the small porthole of the bathyscaphe Trieste. |
|
| For a dinner with Professor Piccard, inventor of the bathyscaphe! |
|
| Born in Brussels on 28 July 1922, Jacques continued the work of his father, the famous physicist Auguste Piccard who invented both the stratospheric balloon and the bathyscaphe. |
|
| Navy-operated bathyscaphe Trieste carried two men to the deepest known point in the Pacific Ocean, reaching a depth of more than 35,000 feet. |
|
| Cameron's dive was the only one of its kind since the bathyscaphe Trieste's pioneering manned dive in 1960 at the same location. |
|
| Applying the principle of the stratospheric balloon to oceanographic research, he invented and constructed the bathyscaphe. |
|
| Auguste Piccard had built the bathyscaphe Trieste, a windowed sphere suspended under a blimplike structure filled with thousands of gallons of gasoline. |
|
| The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Flyback Chronograph, introduced at Baselworld last year, is the first Blancpain watch with a high-frequency 36,000-vph movement. |
