\u201cWho has known the ocean? Neither you nor I, with our earth-bound senses,\u201d Rachel Carson wrote in her pioneering essay Undersea<\/em><\/a> in an era when the deep ocean was more mysterious than the Moon. The essay became the basis of her lyrical 1951 book The Sea Around Us<\/em><\/a>, which won her the National Book Award and which she dedicated to William Beebe<\/strong> (July 29, 1877\u2013June 4, 1962) \u2014 the visionary naturalist, ornithologist, marine biologist, and explorer who in the 1930s became the Poseidon of deep sea exploration.<\/p>\n
