Color satin-finish 10 x 8 photo of Liberty Bell 7 on the ocean floor as it was discovered by Curt Newport in 1999, signed in black felt tip, “Off to Space, 7/21/61, Guenter Wendt, Padleader,” “Claimed by the Deep, Jim Lewis, Pilot, Hunt Club 1,” and “Found!! 5/1/99, Curt Newport.” In fine condition. All three were on Newport’s expedition when the Liberty Bell 7 was discovered: Wendt was the last person to see Grissom upon launch, Lewis was the recovery pilot who was unable to hold on to the Liberty Bell 7, and Newport discovered the spacecraft at a depth of 17,000 feet. A very rare grouping of signatures.
