Did you know

• At first, David Hedison turned down the role of Lee Crane, until he learned that Richard Basehart was signed to play Nelson.

• James Doohan, who played Lawrence Tobin in Hot Line (1964) and Hail to the Chief (1964), was offered the part of Chief Sharkey, but turned it down, because that same week he was offered and accepted the role of Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott of the Starship Enterprise on Star Trek (1966), which became his definitive role. Terry Becker accepted the role of Sharkey.

• An often-referenced running joke is that in many episodes of the series, characters lurch to camera movements on the visibly static set to give the illusion that the Seaview had sustained impact. This was an old movie trick and was commonly used by other television shows of the period, including Star Trek (1966), but none did it so frequently, nor with such relish as Voyage. Hence, the technique is still commonly known as "Seaview Rock and Roll".
