The Poseidon Project
''The Poseidon Project'' is a 2013 documentary film about the search for a lost British submarine called HMS Poseidon. The submarine sank after a collision off the coast of China in 1931. It was widely assumed to be still present in the Bohai Sea, 20 miles off the city of Weihai in China's Shandong Province until American author and scuba diver Steven Schwankert discovered that it had been salvaged by a Chinese salvage team in 1972. Schwankert's work and the history of the submarine and its crew is the subject of ''The Poseidon Project''. The film was directed by British brothers Arthur Jones and Luther Jones.
==Synopsis==
The film is about Beijing-based author and scuba instructor Steven Schwankert's search for the British submarine HMS Poseidon. Schwankert was looking for interesting wrecks to dive in northern China when he found HMS Poseidon on a list of unexplored dive sites. He spent the next six years working on the project, bringing together research in China and the UK to piece together the history of the submarine.
HMS Poseidon collided with a cargo ship off the coast of China on June 9, 1931. Thirty-one of the submarine's crew managed to scramble into the water before the submarine sank to the seabed 130 ft (40 m) below. But 25 were trapped inside. The submarine hit the headlines within hours because five men managed to escape from the submarine using the new Davis Submerged Escape Apparatus. They were the first people to escape from a downed submarine using proto-scuba devices.
The film charts Schwankert's efforts to examine the escape and the accident in unprecedented depth. It also follows him as he uncovers the secret salvaging of the submarine in 1972 by one of China's new salvage teams. The story is also told in Schwankert's book ''Poseidon: China's Secret Salvage of Britain's Lost Submarine''.
