20,000 Jobs Under the Sea
Saturday January 5, 2013 from 10:00am - 5:00pm
Los Angeles Maritime Museum
Berth 84, Foot Of 6th St.
San Pedro, California 90731 Get Directions
The underwater world has fascinated people for centuries. Most people associate the word "diving" with recreational activities such as scuba or snorkeling. But diving is a profession as well. The work of underwater construction, inspection, salvage and repair all require special skills and equipment. The people who perform these jobs are known as "commercial divers". Professional divers who harvest sea life such as abalone, urchins, or sponge are called "fishery divers" Their skills and equipment are specific to the requirements of underwater fishing, and for that reason a fishery diver is not the same as a commercial diver. This exhibit is an introduction to just a few of the thousands of jobs performed by commercial divers and fishery divers in the South Bay, and is the inspiration of Torrance R. Parker, noted commercial diver and author of '20,000 Jobs Under the Sea.'
