"M. Bazin, favorably known for his photographic researches, has contrived a very ingenious submarine photographic studio, by which he is enabled to take photographs of sunken ships, rocks, &c. The chamber is provided with lens-shaped watertight windows, and by means of the electrio light the objects to be photographed are highly illuminated. M. Bazin is able to remain about ten minutes in his submarine chamber, and has produced several clear and well-defined photographic pictures of objects at the great depth of three hundred feet."
