Alvin's Swordfish Encounter

Alvin's Swordfish Encounter

In 1967, the DSV "Alvin," a deep-sea submersible, experienced an extraordinary encounter at a depth of 610 meters when it was attacked by a swordfish. The swordfish became entangled in the Alvin's hull, forcing the submersible to make an emergency ascent. The fish was subsequently recovered at the surface and served as a meal.
