Deep in New York City’s Coney Island Creek lies a mysterious homemade yellow submarine, which has since been abandoned to time. The submarine, named Quester I, was built by a shipyard worker who wanted to use it to dive for the wreckage of the SS Andrea Doria. Unfortunately, when he launched the submarine, it rolled over on its side, and is now left marooned in Gravesend Creek as a monument to one man’s bigger-than-life dreams. Watch as co-founder Dylan Thuras sets off on an epic quest to find the submarine.
