I never heard of it either Gary. I guess it was such a failure, that it was totally forgotten about, and I’m sure they never wanted us to learn about it in sub school.

The Wilkins-Ellsworth Trans Arctic Submarine Expedition.
I watched the video a few days ago. Pretty decently done. I've had this up on the old PigBats page for over 15 years.
We haven't had time to put the full story up, yet, on the new page
