EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the remarkable moment when Sergeant Ezra Lee fearlessly plunged into the depths of the ocean inside the Turtle submarine in 1776. Designed by David Bushnell, a brilliant inventor ahead of his time, this innovative vessel provided enough air for a daring 30-minute submersion. The image showcases the intricate mechanics of this early naval marvel. A propeller, turned by a handle, propelled the Turtle forward while another mechanism allowed for precise movement of its rudder. However, despite several attempts during the American War of Independence, success eluded these courageous pioneers. Sergeant Ezra Lee's bravery shines through as he takes on this audacious mission to defend his country's independence. His determination and unwavering spirit embody the resilience that defined America during those turbulent times. This historical photograph from Universal Images Group (UIG) transports us back to an era where innovation and courage intersected on uncharted waters. It serves as a reminder of our ancestors' relentless pursuit of progress and their willingness to push boundaries in order to secure freedom. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, let us honor those who came before us - individuals like Sergeant Ezra Lee and inventors like David Bushnell - whose contributions paved the way for future advancements in naval warfare. May their legacy continue to inspire generations to come.
