evidence: Interview With A Submersible Submarine Pilot [...] And part of the reason I get it is because in 2003, I interviewed the first pilot of the submersible submarine Alvin that took scientist Robert Ballard down to the ocean floor to find the Titanic. The Alvin was an expertly constructed submersible created by scientists and engineeers at the infamous Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution on Cape Cod. More than 14,000 scientists benefitted from the Alvin, and nearly all of the dives were scientific, garnering the field of science new and vast knowledge of the ocean floor. I was writing for a magazine called "Inside Cape Cod" back then and interviewing submersible pilot Dudley Foster was a career highlight. He had deep blue eyes like the sea and was a true science cowboy. He was piloting Alvin during some of the worlds most amazing underwater discoveries, including the dive that discovered the Titanic.
