Don Walsh

person · earth

US Navy officer and oceanographer who piloted Trieste with Jacques Piccard on the 23 January 1960 descent to the Challenger Deep. Including Walsh matters to the record: the 1960 dive is frequently attributed to Piccard alone, and it was a two-man dive. Not a place.

A person is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
