First Underwater Colour Photograph


Thought that this was an interesting fact in the history of understanding the oceans.This photograph of a hog fish was taken in 1926 off the Florida Keys in the Gulf of Mexico by Dr. William Longley and National Geographic staff photographer Charles Martin. It was the first underwater coloured photograph. These two pioneered underwater photography.
