Fantastic Voyages

You may need: Adobe Flash Player.

The sea has been a source of storytelling and real-time adventure tales since the beginning of narrative and most every culture has its archetypal story. The great futuristic tale is 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne, a tale of the submarine vessel Nautilus and her captain, Nemo, a self-exiled scientist in pursuit of knowledge. In this episode of World Ocean Radio, host Peter Neill will discuss modern day underwater devices for global ocean research, fascinating tools for underwater exploration in unexpected places.

In this episode of World Ocean Radio, he'll discuss all manner of things that float: from the natural to the man-made, from the obvious modes of transport, trade and recreation to objects that function quite unnaturally on water.
