Atlantis and Ocean Exploration

What can we learn from early science fiction about the ocean? What technology was inspired from this ocean speculation? This episode I want to take you on a journey through centuries of science fiction about the ocean. A journey, you may say 20,000 leagues under the sea, from mythic sunken cities like Atlantis to real companies mining resources from the seabed. Research from this episode came from Mark Adams' Meet Me in Atlantis , World Ocean Radio.org, Robert Ballard’s ‘ Why We Must Explore the Sea ’ in Smithsonian magazine, and audio clips from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea copyright 1954.
