Scope and content
Item is a photograph with the inscription on reverse “No object on to publication credit line must read: Photo by B.J. Nixon DEEPSEA VENTURES, Inc.” and attached paper “DREDGEHEAD DOWN!! Specially designed dredgehead on its first lowering through the ship’s well or Moon Pool*. The dredgehead was attached to flexible hose and finally coupled to 2,700 feet of 9-5/8” pipe with special couplings to withstand tremendous bending and stress loads. *Moon Pool is a term used by men on offshore oil rigs to describe the well cut in the vessel’s midship. On calm evenings at sea, the moon’s reflections light up the well and create a very pleasant visual image similar to a lighted swimming pool."
