American vessel Turtle (1776), the first submarine to be used in war, 19th century
American vessel Turtle (1776), the first submarine to be used in war, 19th century. Designed by David Bushnell (1742-1824), the vessel was propelled by a crank and contained sufficient air for a 30 minute submersion. During the American War of Independence (1775-1783) several attempts were made to use Turtle, armed with a single mine, to blow up British warships. This shows Sergeant Ezra Lee on 6 September 1776 during his abortive attack on the Eagle, one of the British ships blockading New York Harbour

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the American vessel Turtle, the first submarine to be used in war. Designed by David Bushnell during the 18th century, this innovative concept revolutionized water transport and warfare. In this engraving, we see Sergeant Ezra Lee inside the submarine on September 6,1776, during his daring but unsuccessful attack on the British ship Eagle. The interior of Turtle showcases its ingenuity with a hand-cranked propeller that allowed it to navigate underwater for up to 30 minutes. During the American War of Independence (1775-1783), multiple attempts were made to utilize Turtle's single mine to blow up British warships blockading New York Harbor. This image symbolizes not only rebellion and revolution but also showcases America's determination and resourcefulness in their fight for independence. The vertical composition emphasizes the height of innovation achieved during this time period. It serves as a reminder of how far transportation technology has come since then. This print is an important historical artifact that highlights both scientific progress and military strategy. As we observe this remarkable piece from Ann Ronan Pictures, we are reminded of David Bushnell's contribution to submarine warfare and his impact on future naval advancements. It stands as a testament to human perseverance and our constant pursuit of new frontiers in science and invention.
