engineers, submersibles, and poetry

The owner of Hawkes Ocean Tech­nolo­gies, upon unveil­ing the company’s lat­est two-man deep-sea sub­mersible vehi­cle, reflects on how they might become an ambas­sador of the oceans:

“We want to send [down] poets and writ­ers,” said Gra­ham Hawkes, before being asked if he per­son­ally liked poetry. “No, I don’t—I’m an engi­neer. [But] we’ve got to stop send­ing [only] engi­neers down there.”Source: CNET News
