JW Fishers 50th Anniversary
Celebrating 50 years of innovation, JW Fisher's marks a golden anniversary dedicated to advancing underwater exploration technology and enhancing marine discovery.
Can you guess what year we're describing?
Boeing unveiled the iconic 747 jumbo-jet, Apollo 8 orbited the moon, the first bank ATM was introduced, the first vehicle airbag systems were developed, and the "911" national emergency telephone service was established.
It is also the year that Jack W. Fisher began developing underwater search equipment, setting the stage for JW Fishers to become the most trusted name in underwater search equipment.
What year was this? You guessed it: 1968!
