Beaver Mark IV
The Beaver Mark IV, designed and built by North American Rockwell, was special because
it could dive to 2,000 feet and could mate with underwater oil capsules and other
submarines. In 1969, the Beaver IV was one of the submersibles to meet at the first
and only assemblage of seven deep submersibles at one time, in one location. Carrying
a crew of 2 and 3 divers the Beaver had a top speed of 5 knots, a range of 20-25 nautical
miles and could support life for 36 hours.
