Quester I

Quester I is the name of a 45-foot (14 m) submarine built in 1967 by Jerry Bianco,[1] a shipyard worker in Brooklyn, New York City.

[4] Another story explains that the launch failure was due to the crane operator's disregarding the builder's directions; since only partial ballast had been placed inside the submarine (to save money), it was unstable, and thus was to be held in position by the crane while the ballast would be properly repositioned.

This story states that "Bianco later refilled the ballast and tethered the sub, but his backers' enthusiasm waned, and he could never return to the project.

"[2] As of 2024 the vessel was either largely or partly visible (depending on the tide) above the Coney Island Creek's water.

The cap, which always remains unsubmerged, retains more of its bright yellow color, from the zinc chromate paint used in its construction.
