My Dennis DeBoer rc seaview kit at local lake

[@d-v-cez9152]

Fabulous job! I absolutely agree with viewer comments that it needs the Flying Sub! Chip and Kowalski were my favorite characters and I dug the cool leather jacket Captain Crane wore when piloting the Flying Sub 😊

[@SavageVoyageur]

As a kid I loved this show. I had a model of the submarine that shot torpedos out. I took it to the lakes and played with it for hours with my mask and snorkel. Thanks for the memories.

This is a totally awesome video, I remember rushing home from school as a kid to watch Voyage to the Bottom of Sea. Watching this took me right back to those memories.

Presentation is exceptional. Outstanding detail of the ship, and details about it. One of my favorite shows as a teen; starting in 1964 in B&W. As a 13-yr. old, I so wanted to be Lee Crane.

[@johnbockelie3899]

The show takes place in the 1970's and 1980's. In 1964 that was the future. I saw an episode once where the SEAVIEW was on the surface, and above it it said " 1979" for a second or two. I laughed for in reality it was 1981.i fondly remember this. The seaview, the only sub with Cadillac tail fins !!,

I rewatched voyage to the bottom the sea recently and was amazed how well the Special effects especially the subs and underwater shots have held up. Now I am not saying the're not cheesy at times and there are so many times you can clearly see they are in a swimming pool but the craft and skill put into them is amazing for the time and budget, In the mad rush to reboot series I wish they would reboot this series. I know we had Seaquest DSV that was a spiritual descendant of this series but it was its own wonderful thing.

@@darrellcook8253 Sealab 2021 was a parody of the cartoon Sealab 2020 I fondly remember watching this show and rewatched it not long ago but it was more of a kids cartoon with an environmental theme but it bore little resemblance to Journey beneath the sea which was more a spy thriller in the earlier seasons tending towards a sci fi fantasy themes for the last 2 years

[@pandax75]

@@FooFahFoeFum The first season was more realistic focusing on Cold War themes. It's funny when I was a kid I found those episodes boring and loved the monster episodes. Now it's the opposite. As for when the show took place you have to remember continuity and cannon didn't matter much back then. I honestly hope they don't remake it. It's a product of it's time and the way Hollywood is now they would only end up ruining it.

[@zuutlmna]

Few yrs back, I clicked on several "Sky King" TV series excerpts on KZbin. I noted in the comments that some folks had pursued aviation related careers, as pilots etc., due to having watched the series as youngsters. Or how many other youngsters watched police/crime drama, and so on, and were positively influenced to the extent that it helped give them constructive career direction.. In my opinion, such commercial media has constructive social potential that is overlooked. My idea is that, if we want more youngsters to grow up to pursue more science/engineering etc. careers, or just otherwise positively connect with the occupational work environment, our media might be a very viable tool toward those ends.. Imagine a sci-fi series about private sector space industry, with asteroid mining, rotating wheel stations.. Or historical fiction series about an entrepreneur who, with lots of adventures along the way, creates a booming airship airline during the early 20th century..

The SSNR. SEAVIEW is the first submarine( even thou its a scale model) to use the pump-jet propulsers,.The 1st subs to use this type of propulsion is the U.K. TRAFALGAR class. the U.S.N. uses this on the SEAWOLF class & the follow on VIRGINIA Class.they were way behind the advancement of Seaview.

[@sammyvh11]

I notice that too on the subs of today. Irwin Allen and Rodenberry saw the future.

[@robertmurphy4836]

Seaview basically had shrouded propellers with long shrouds.

[@outlet6989]

My Good God, what a video! This video reminds me of the time when I saw the movie, and later the TV series. All aspects of your video are outstanding. At the beginning of the video, I felt that I was watching the movie. Just outstanding in ALL respects. You showed a real KZbin video should me.

[@superstrangevideo]

There's a 3rd or 4th season episode where Nelson orders the Seaview to travel at 60 knots (submerged). That's the fastest I ever heard of it going on the series. Since I recall that it seemed to be no big deal, I would assume it could probably go even faster than that.

Jeeez give him some credit. He was a brilliant producer who had a great imagination. This was his vision of how a submarine might look like in the future. And we've got plenty of subs - albeit not as large as Seaview - with forward facing screens these days. So he wasn't far off.

Dra Williams, Man, I must be getting old! I remember ALL of those great TV shows! My mom and siblings looked forward to them coming on every night. Starsky and Hutch, Six Million Dollar Man, Bionic Woman, Fantasy Island. In the 70's, my brother and I watched the after school shows like Speed Racer, Ultra Man, Johnny Sokko and his Giant Robot, The Space Giants, Captain Scarlett. Does anyone remember the lesser known Marine Boy or Kimba the Lion? Those were great times in front of a TV after playing outside all day, riding our bikes with friends for many blocks with hardly a care in the world. During summer vacation from school, we'd build tree houses or a pallet fort in an empty lot around the corner. We were living like kings with our Coca Cola and cans of Spaghettios that we took from home! A shout out to my old neighborhood around 63rd & Dicks or Elmwood Avenue's in good ol' Southwest Philly!

Voyage to the Bottom of Sea. My favorite series I did not miss any episode was a well made science fiction. Instead I did not like Star Trek, it was pure talk and little action in space, limited effects, just boring for me. This television series Voyage to the Bottom of Sea had many pluses, such as areosub a flying minisubmarine that looked like an O.V.N.I., the underwater sphere, the intercontinental atomic missiles, the torpedo trick and the atomic reactor room.

[@Dra741]

One of the greatest things about the USS sea view is that you had to see View when most submarines you can't see anything except when you raise your periscope but with the Sea View you could see everything they should have made one of these for real but you know what this video that you guys made it's absolutely exemplary I like to revisit this history it's a historic piece

[@Setebos]

Building a Seaview-type submarine for real would've required a serious engineering breakthrough in regards to the large windows in the bow (in the novelization, and subsequent documents, the windows were composed of a substance called "X-tempered herculite"). Also some severe lighting would be required to see anything, as the water grows dark the deeper one goes (so note the large searchlight in the Seaview's bow, as well as the array of lights around the viewing windows in Captain Nemo's Nautilus from the Disney film). In any case, I'd enjoy seeing such a distinctive design constructed for real.

[@robertmurphy4836]

In real life those big bow windows would quickly be covered over by brown and green sea scum. You would be better off having several large flat screen monitors linked to a bank of 4K underwater cameras in the bow with covers. Sort of like how the Virginia class subs have a optical mast with cameras instead of a periscope.

[@scottspilis1940]

I recall reading that there was a 17 footer for surface shots, an eight footer that could submerge and was used for the submerged shots ( the eight footer i think did most of the work in the series), and the four footer that you mentioned. Not sure what the four footer was used for.
