EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical image depicts the daring exploit of the Turtle, the first submersible craft to be used in combat during the American Revolution. Built under the clandestine direction of American inventor Ezra Lee and naval officer Robert Fulton, the Turtle was designed by New Haven inventor David Bushnell. Launched on September 7, 1776, in New York Harbor, this one-man submarine was intended to attack British ships by attaching a time-delayed explosive charge to their hulls. The Turtle's innovative design featured a hand-cranked propeller for propulsion and a hand-pump for breathing. The crew, consisting of a single man, would manually navigate the craft to its target, position the explosive device, and then escape before it detonated. The Turtle's first attack on the night of September 6, 1776, targeted the British warship HMS Eagle. Despite the efforts of Lee and his crew, the attack was unsuccessful. However, the Turtle's second attack, on September 7, 1776, against the HMS Jersey, resulted in a significant achievement. Although the explosion did not sink the ship, it caused considerable damage and disrupted British operations in New York Harbor. This photograph, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of underwater warfare. The Turtle's groundbreaking design paved the way for the development of modern submarines and demonstrates the ingenuity and determination of the American Revolutionaries in their quest for independence.
