Funny thing.  I actually saw the Glomar Explorer.  My wife and I were 
visiting Fort Delaware the day Sun Shipbuilding, the Navy, and CIA sent 
the Glomar Explorer out for its shake down cruise.  I was on the North 
parapet of the fort looking up river.  There were about a half dozen 
other folks up there with my wife and I.  Two in suits wearing 
sunglasses.  Here comes this strange vessel down river.  As it got close 
I said to my wife "I wonder what the heck that is?"  A voice behind me 
said "Oh, its just a boat that looks for oil on the seabed."  I thought 
interesting, but nothing more of it for a long time.  Until the articles 
and stories came out about the Glomar Explorer years later.

Thanks for sharing Dick Singer's interesting article.  I will add it to 
my library.   I saw the Glomar Explorer, and that day had no camera with 
me.  Though I suppose those other gentelman may have not looked kindly 
on my photography skills.
