1800 1801 Brest Descending Fulton Inventor Metres Napoleon Submarine Submarines Successfully Tested
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back in time to the historic moment when the world's first successful submarine, the Fulton Submarine 1801, was put to the test under the waters of Brest, France. Built by the visionary American inventor Robert Fulton in Paris between 1800 and 1801, this submarine was a groundbreaking achievement in naval history. Fulton's invention, commissioned by Napoleon Bonaparte, was designed to serve as a military transport vessel, capable of carrying troops and supplies beneath the surface of the water, bypassing enemy defenses. The interior of the Nautilus, as it was named, was meticulously crafted to provide ample space for passengers and essential supplies, as well as a system of windows that allowed natural light to filter in. The interior of the submarine is depicted in this photograph, revealing the intricate details of Fulton's ingenious design. The wooden structure is adorned with various compartments, storage areas, and a large hatch that leads to the exterior. The presence of oars and a steering mechanism suggests that the submarine could also be propelled manually, adding to its versatility. The successful test of the Fulton Submarine 1801 on March 22, 1801, marked a significant milestone in the development of underwater transportation. This photograph is a testament to Fulton's innovative spirit and the remarkable engineering feats of the early 19th century. The submarine's legacy continues to inspire and influence the design of modern submersibles, making it an essential piece of maritime history.
