ITALIEN TIEFSEETAUCHEN PICCARD WALSH 1953
Der Schweizer Tiefsee- und Stratosphaerenforscher Auguste Piccard, Mitte mit Hut, und sein Sohn Jacques Piccard, rechts, am 13. August 1953 in der Bucht von Neapel, wo sie mit ihrem neuen Tiefseetauchgeraet "Bathyscape", das den Namen "Trieste" traegt, den ersten Tauchversuch unternehmen. Jacques Piccard erreichte 1960 zusammen mit dem Amerikaner Don Walsh mit dem von seinem Vater entwickelten Bathyscaph-Tiefseetauchgeraet "Trieste" den bis heute gueltigen Tiefenweltrekord von 10911 Metern.

Jacques Piccard and his team reached a record depth of 10'911 m in the Mariana Trench on January 23, 1960. Auguste Piccard (1884-1962) was a physicist, inventor and explorer. An interest in ballooning and a curiosity about the upper atmosphere led him to design and construct a spherical, pressurized aluminum gondola which would allow him to ascend to great altitude without requiring a pressure suit in 1930. Piccard and a Belgian engineer reached a record altitude of 15'785 m on May 27, 1931. During this flight, Piccard was able to gather substantial data on the stratosphere. Piccard and a Belgian physicist made a second record-breaking ascent to 16'200 m on August 18, 1932. In the mid-1930s, Piccard's interests shifted when he realized that a modification of some of his atmospheric balloon concepts would allow to descend into the deep ocean and he designed a small steel gondola to withstand great external pressure.
