The #ArchgivesHashtagParty of the @usnatarchives of this month has the motto #ArchivesUnderTheSea wich fits half our archives but specially this work from our library: "In Meerestiefen. Geschichte der Erforschung und Eroberung der Meere" (In the Depths of the Seas. History of the Exploration and Conquest of the Seas), published in Germany in 1891 by Carl Falkenhorst (1853-1913).

I thought I should get in on #ArchivesUnderTheSea, so I am directing everyone to a recent article that we ran @commonplacejrl written by James Lilley. It looks at Edgar Allan Poe and his work as a pioneering mollusk scientist: http://commonplace.online/article/edgar-allan-poe-pioneering-mollusk-scientist/

While Armstrong and Aldrin were landing on the Moon in July 1969, a 30-day NASA mission in the Atlantic was also underway! 6 aquanauts drifted along the gulf stream on the Ben Franklin submersible #ArchivesUnderTheSea #ArchivesHashtagParty
