The Disappearance of the PX-15
In the summer of 1969, six men embarked on a daring, month-long mission to drift within the Gulf Stream aboard the PX-15, a specialized research submarine designed by Jacques Piccard. As the world turned its eyes toward the Apollo 11 moon landing, this crew faced the immense pressures of the deep sea, navigating the challenges of isolation and the unpredictable currents of the ocean. Their journey, a testament to human endurance and scientific curiosity, remained a largely untold story for decades until the vessel was rediscovered and restored, offering a rare glimpse into a pioneering feat of underwater exploration.
