The Community Submersibles website:
They have a GoFundMe thing set up (tax deductible donations!) so they seem prepared for incoming Boing Boing traffic.
They do not seem to sell t-shirts.

I remember seeing those in comics! I wanted one very badly.
Anyway, this is awesome. Also, Bioluminescent Dinoflagellate is the name of my new band.

I took out a huge loan to buy a submarine just before the bottom fell out of the market and now I’m totally underwater.

Someone needs to show the Project Binky guys this.
(It would be perfectly safe because they’d still be working on it six years later before moving on to another project.)
