Information:
-------------------------------
This is my second add-on for Virtual Sailor: The legendary SSRN Seaview from that classic 60s TV series "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea"!

This project began when I'd taken it upon myself to overhaul a mesh by a fellow "Orbiter" user, Jon Marcure. (see images Seaview_Comparison_01 & _02 in this folder).

For some background on Seaview, be sure to read the EXCELLENT article "Nelson's Folly: The Technical Conception and Service History of SSRN Seaview" by Mike Adamson B.A. (Hon).
