Beebe, (Charles) William

    0.03 sec.

Beebe, (Charles) William (1877-1962)

US naturalist, explorer, and writer. His interest in deep-sea exploration led to a collaboration with the engineer Otis Barton and the development of a spherical diving vessel, the bathysphere. On 24 August 1934 the two men made a record-breaking dive to 923 m/3,028 ft.

Beebe was curator of birds for the New York Zoological Society 1899-1952. He wrote the comprehensive Monograph of the Pheasants 1918-22, and his expeditions are described in a series of memoirs.
