The Trieste

I chose the Bathyscape Trieste as the ship from Chapter 2 because it was really interesting to me.  The Trieste was an Italian-build deep diving bathyscape that had a crew of 2 people and reached a record depth in the ocean of about 35,000 feet.  It dove in the Challenger Deep, which is the deepest known part of the oceans.  This ship is important because it was the first manned ship that reached the bottom of the Challenger deep, and it really showed what kind of great oceanic achievements can be achieved.
