[PSUBS-MAILIST] Titan submersible missing at Titanic site

[Jon Wallace via Personal_Submersibles]

 Marc, that was probably Brian Cox who passed away a year or so ago.  His pressure hull was steel but he did use ferrocement for the superstructure.  http://www.subdb.info/cgi/database/showvessel/index.cgi?ID=1272980224&VN=Esmae&VT=1
There are no standards for using ferrocement as a manned submarine pressure hull and I think anyone attempting it would find little support for the project given the Ocean Gate loss.

 I know. I fell in love with FC for yachts, which made me wonder how 
useful it would be for pressure hulls... Turns out there is a 2010 
exchange of messages in my archive with somebody on this list who built 
in FC, Brian Cox. Is he still there?
