Quester I is a 45-foot submarine that was built in 1967 by Jerry Bianco, a shipyard worker in Brooklyn, New York City. The submarine was constructed from salvaged metal with the intention of either raising or salvaging valuables from the wreck of the Italian passenger liner SS Andrea Doria, which sank in 1956. Despite facing launch difficulties and financial constraints, Quester I remains partially visible in Coney Island Creek, showcasing its bright yellow exterior now covered in a sheen of orange rust.
Constructed by Jerry Bianco, Quester I is a unique submarine that was initially intended for the recovery of the SS Andrea Doria wreck. However, due to launch mishaps and funding challenges, the submarine now rests in Coney Island Creek, where it can be seen partially above water. Its vibrant yellow color has faded over time, replaced by a rusty orange hue, but the vessel still stands as a testament to Bianco's ambitious project.
