The Smithsonian revisited it. From what I understand (from what they aired) they mapped it and had some poor intern dig through the Library of Congress to find everything that existed. They *think* it worked exactly as advertised, until the designer and his crew got malaria and died. The second crew took to diving her deeper and deeper and probably got Decompression sickness as a result. Plus the Pacific Pearl Company never recovered pearls in any number close to their projection. I guess The New York Times had a reporter follow her from the first test dive to a few missions near Panama.
