Title: Salvage of USS Squalus (SS-192), 1939
Description: Squalus' bow breaks the surface during an attempt to lift her from the sea bottom off the New Hampshire coast, in the Summer of 1939. The bow of USS Falcon (ASR-2) is at the left. This appears to be the 13 July 1939 lift, in which Squalus' bow rose uncontrollably to the surface and then sank. Official U.S. Navy Photograph.
