Watch out, there's the
signpost--Submarine Seaview, dead ahead. You are about to enter the
world of Irwin Allen's Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea--a universe of old
fashioned rubber band, paper clip, and scotch tape special effects created
by effects genius L.B. Abbott. Back in the days before CGI, when
good special effects were a lot harder to create. The
people who made the movie and TV show Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea
came up with some good ones, at a time when little was being done in the
way of creating alternate worlds through special effects on television.
You will
encounter some great graphics on the often fabulous 60's television show,
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. Voyage is a show, which, when it
was good, was very, very good, but even when the scripts stunk, as they
often did in the show's final seasons, the cast, lead by the brilliant
Richard Basehart as Admiral Harriman Nelson and David Hedison as Captain
Lee Crane, always did their best. This site focuses on Voyage to the
Bottom of the Sea's strengths, not its weaknesses, for one simple
reason--those strengths often made for entertaining, occasionally
brilliant television.
Within,
you'll find sections on:  The show's cast and
crew. Special effects. Collectibles. Production Artwork. Models. Photo Gallery and
more.
If you have any
photos or information on Voyage you would like to share with this
site, please contact me at the webmaster address below. My aim is to
make this site as comprehensive as possible. I will surely credit
anything contributed--MB
