    Dr. Don Walsh, a retired U.S. Navy captain, talks to acclaimed filmmaker James Cameron about the Trieste, a deep-diving research bathyscaphe which reached the deepest known part of the earth's oceans, the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench near Guam, on Jan. 23, 1960. Piloting Trieste in 1960 were Navy Lt. Don Walsh and scientist Jacques Piccard. Trieste is now permanently housed at the National Museum of the Unites States Navy at the Washington Navy Yard. Cameron piloted the Deepsea Challenger nearly seven miles to Challenger Deep on March 26, 2012. Cameron has donated Deepsea Challenger to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute in Massachusetts.
