Английская Википедия:History of Diving Museum
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox museum The History of Diving Museum is located in Islamorada, Florida which is in the Florida Keys. The museum's exhibits include a collection of vintage underwater diving equipment, a notable collection of diving helmets and various artifacts that are dedicated to the history of underwater diving.
History
The not-for-profit museum was founded by Joe and Sally Bauer, retired physicians. A chance purchase of a diving helmet had started their interest in diving and the ocean. They wrote scientific articles on oceanic topics, and assembled a large collection of diving artifacts. In 2000, they started turning a self-storage warehouse in Islamorada into a museum.[1][2][3][4] It opened to the public in 2005 and was in full operation the next year.[5] Joe died in 2007 and his widow Sally continued the work.[2][3]
Exhibits
As of 2014, the museum had 13 exhibits on diving history, beginning with a story from the 3-4 thousand year old Epic of Gilgamesh.[3][6] Diving pioneers such as Edmond Halley and Karl Heinrich Klingert are included. The museum has a large collection of diving helmets from over 20 countries.[6][7] The collection includes atmospheric diving suits such as the 1930 "Iron Mike".[6]
Recognition
Sally Bauer was inducted into the Women Divers Hall of Fame in 2011.[4] She received the NOGI Award in 2019. The mayor of Islamorada proclaimed January 12, 2019, to be "Dr. Sally Bauer Day".[8]
The Bauers were also both founding members of the US and UK branches of the Historical Diving Society.[4]
