We review the early evolution of massive water Cherenkov tracking calorimeters, including the inception of the pioneering IMB and Dumand concepts and the two successor Kamiokande detectors. We also consider the ultimate facilities: a high-resolution megaton detector and the high-volume Antares detector plus its sequel, the Cubic Kilometer.
Paul Frampton played a seminal role in the scientific justification for the physics that drove IMB and its successors. We, the experimenters, pay tribute to Paul's precocious support of searches for proton decay and neutrino oscillations. Led along the garden path for the first, we found the second, as well as the first (supernova) astrophysical neutrinos. This pays homage to Paul's early days at Harvard and the decade that followed when he was a theory godfather to IMB and the detectors that followed. This includes Paul as the convener of the "Workshops on Grand Unification," where, for example, was published the first paper to advocate IMB as a neutrino oscillation search with the baseline of the earth. All of us associated with IMB thank Paul immensely.
