Troy (submarine)

Troy is a 14-foot-long submarine designed to look as much as possible like a Great White Shark, to watch Great White Sharks underwater without disturbing them, since before this it was difficult to observe them without attracting them to food. It has one crew, who lies on his belly inside it. It is piloted by Fabien Cousteau. The submarine was used to make a documentary to prove that great white sharks were not mindless and dangerous animals.

It was inspired by The Adventures of Tintin comic Red Rackham's Treasure (Le Trésor de Rackham le Rouge) in which Tintin uses a shark-like submarine as part of his search for the titular treasure.

Its name was taken from the idea of "Trojan horse".
