THE DEEP 's 'Hamilton Library' scene was filmed inside the Queen's Exhibition Hall at the National Museum of Bermuda, 1 The Keep, Sandys MA 01, Bermuda . There really is a Bermuda National Library in Hamilton, Bermuda, but  THE DEEP  made their 'Hamilton Library' inside the Queen's Exhibition Hall. Two 'Hamilton Library' scenes were filmed but only one appears in the final cut of the film. That scene opens with David ( Nick Nolte ) looking over 'Treece's Treasure' while Gail ( Jacqueline Bisset ) tries to identify the mysterious medallion from the wreck of the Goliath .  "OPN means Ora Pro Nobis, pray for us, and SC I can't find in any of these" (Source Sony Pictures ) The deleted scene appears in the extended TV version and includes Eli Wallach's wife Anne Jackson as the librarian who directs David and Gail to St. David's Island. "And I should warn you about St. David's Islanders" says Anne Jackson
