Currently on offer from noted auctioneer’s Julien*s, these two spectacular lots from seaQuest go under the hammer on 12th-14th of July. Registration for the ‘Hollywood Legends, Danger, Disaster & Disco’ is open now and bids can be placed in advance.
The below descriptions omit that the seaQuest model was sculpted by John Eaves and though some casts were made, painted and mounted on a stand with Brass plaque (see the unfinished one from the VAULT collection here) for set dressing – ultimately none were visible in the show.
Meanwhile, the Dickies shirt – pertaining to be worn by Michael Ironside – is curiously lacking the Captain’s trident collar patches and correct triangle shoulder patch. Though the shirt is obviously production made/used, the rank is in fact Lieutenant and unfortunately the handwritten details are inconclusive as to who may actually have worn it on screen…
DESCRIPTION
A resin model of the seaQuest Deep Submergence Vehicle 4600 with an accompanying plaque featuring in-world specifications and details, from the science-fiction television series seaQuest DSV (NBC, 1993 – 1996).
Please note that this piece contains wear and damage including the model being separated from the plaque, the small frame adornments around the holes that hold the model in the plaque have also been separated, and one of the back fins of the model has been chipped off.

DESCRIPTION
A shirt for Michael Ironside as Captain Oliver Hudson from the production of the science fiction television series seaQuest DSV (NBC, 1993 – 1996).
The shirt is comprised of 65% polyester and 35% cotton. It contains a Dickies brand tag that lists the dimensions as 16-16 1/2 x 35. The Dickies tag features illegible handwriting in black marker. The collar of the shirt features two patches, as does both shoulders. The shoulder patches feature two different UEO (United Earth Oceans Organization) insignias.
Ironside joined the series for its third and final season, partially taking over as a quasi-lead of the show after the departure of the show’s previous lead Roy Scheider, who had conflicts with the show’s producers and only appeared in a few episodes of season three.
