What was the first ROV?

The first remotely operated vehicle (ROV) is often considered to be the "Deep Tow," developed in the early 1960s by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. It was designed for deep-sea exploration and featured cameras and instruments that could be remotely controlled from the surface. This pioneering technology laid the groundwork for the development of more advanced ROVs used in oceanography, underwater Archaeology, and industrial applications.
