High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Seaview, a fictitious privately owned nuclear submarine, was the setting for the 1961 motion picture Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, starring Walter Pidgeon, and later for the 1964 1968 ABC television series of the same title. It is possible that the U.S. Navy nuclear submarine USS Triton (SSRN-586) inspired the Seaview. In 1960, the year before the film Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea was released, USS Triton became the first submarine to circumnavigate the globe underwater. Seaview's bow and stern are radically different from Triton, but her long slim hull resembles the hull of Triton more than it resembles the hull of any other real submarine.
