	Bathyscaphe Trieste - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Trieste was a deep-diving research bathyscaphe ("deep boat") with a crew of two people, which reached a record-breaking depth of about 10,900 m, in the deepest part of the oceans, the Challenger Deep, in 1960.
		The crew pressure sphere was 6.5 ft (2.16 m), attached to the underside of the floats and acccessed from the deck of the vessel by a vertical tunnel which penetrated the float and ran down to the sphere hatch.
		The bathyscaphe was then retired and dismantled, and her pressure sphere was incorporated into the Trieste II, which also conducted some dives to the USS Thresher site in 1964.

		The first such vessel, invented in 1947 by the Swiss physicist Auguste Piccard, explored the ocean bottom at a depth, in 1954, as great as 4000 m (13,125 ft) and operated under water pressure of 0.42 metric ton/sq cm.
		The bathyscaphe Trieste, built in 1953, set a world record on January 23, 1960, when it descended 10,915 m (about 35,810 ft) to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, deepest known point in the oceans, 338 km (about 210 mi) southwest of Guam.
		The Trieste was also used in the search for the hull of the nuclear submarine USS Thresher, which had plunged 2560 m (8400 ft) to the ocean floor 354 km (220 mi) east of Boston in April 1963.

	Bathyscaphe Trieste II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Trieste II (DSV-1) was the successor to Trieste —the United States Navy's first bathyscape purchased from its Swiss designers.
		Between September 1965 and May 1966, TRIESTE II again underwent extensive modification and conversion at Mare Island Naval Shipyard but there is no clear record that she was ever operated in that new configuration, ie, the addition of skeds or outriggers on both sides of the sphere.
		The Trieste class DSV were replaced by the Alvin class DSV, as exemplified by the famous Alvin (DSV-2).

		A bathyscape, bathyscaphe, or bathyscaph is a free-diving self-propelled deep-sea diving submersible, consisting of a crew cabin similar to a bathysphere suspended below a float (rather than from a surface cable, as in the classic bathysphere design).
		To descend, a bathyscaphe floods air tanks, but unlike a submarine the water in the flooded tanks cannot be displaced with compressed air to ascend, because water pressures are typically too great.
		In 1960 Trieste, carrying Piccard's son and a U.S. Naval officer, set a world record by diving to a depth of 35,810 feet (10 915 metres) at the bottom of the Challenger Deep, the deepest point in the Mariana Trench and believed to be the deepest point in the world's oceans.

	Bathyscaphe Trieste (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Trieste was a Swiss designed deep-diving research bathyscaphe ("deep boat") with a crew of two people, which reached a record-breaking depth of about 10,900 m, in the deepest part of the oceans, the Challenger Deep, in 1960.
		This configuration (dubbed a "bathyscaphe" by Piccard), allowed for a free dive, rather than the previous bathysphere designs in which a sphere was lowered to depth and raised from a ship, via cable.
		The bathyscaphe was then retired and dismantled, and her pressure sphere was incorporated into the Trieste II, which also conducted some dives to the USS Thresher site in 1964.
