In 1960, the producers of the mega hit TV show Sea Hunt staring actor Lloyd Bridges as underwater hero, Mike Nelson decided to order a brand spanking new, top of the line ARGONAUT. This brand new state of the art Yacht would be used for the upcoming season 4 and it would showcase Mr. Bridges real-life SCUBA skills and talents by performing his own stunts diving from this new cruiser. The TROJAN Boat Company, located in Lancaster, PA. manufactures was chosen to be the brand to represent the new Greek legend. It was famed TV producer Mr. Rod Serling that made the recommendation to Sea Hunt producers about which boat brand should be used. Mr. Serling suggested TROJAN yachts as he felt “TROJAN Boats was a good bang for the buck”, as he also personally owned several TROJAN boats himself. Once selected, The TROJAN Boat Co. began handcrafting FIVE SEA SONS by selecting their most skilled and talented shipwrights for this most honored selection. By the end of 1960 FIVE SEA SONS was delivered to Hollywood Ca. and used in the filming of season four. The rest as they say is history…
