the final report of project seal (1950)
DESCRIPTION
“Top-secret wartime experiments were conducted off the coast of Auckland to perfect a tidal wave bomb, declassified files reveal. An Auckland University professor seconded to the Army set off a series of underwater explosions triggering mini-tidal waves at Whangaparaoa in 1944 and 1945. Details of the tsunami bomb, known as Project Seal, are contained in a document published in 1950 and released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.” – New Zealand Herald, 1999.TRANSCRIPT
