Quest 1
What is the commonality between the wreckage of the Quester I sub at Coney Island, and the SS Andrea Doria? The Italian liner that was dubbed the Titanic in the 1950s sank after colliding into the MS Stockholm off the coast of Massachusetts. The ship sank along with 46 people, and treasure worth millions of dollars. Jerry Bianco, a Brooklyn shipyard employee, found out about the sunken treasure and built a 45 foot submarine with metal salvaged from Coney Island wrecks.
It was called the yellow submarine and the exterior was painted with yellow chrome. In the 1970s, the operator did not follow the instructions when lowering the submarine to the depths. It became stuck. Since then, the ship was abandoned along with more than two dozen other wrecked vessels in Coney Island’s ship graveyard. creek.
