dgbot Posted November 1, 2016 Share #1 Posted November 1, 2016 I never heard about this in school. I thought subs were first invented in the US during the civil war. https://www.thevintagenews.com/2016/06/27/constructed-barcelona-1858-ictineo-recognised-many-worlds-first-fully-functional-submarine-2/ David B Tadeusz43, jud, thibaultron and 2 others 5 Quote Work in progress USS Maine in cardstock.http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/7446-uss-maine-by-dgbot-hmv-card/#entry220003 Completed Blockade runner Teazer http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/6063-blockade-runner-teazer-by-dgbot-card-stock/#entry175967 Completed The Monitor Lehigh http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/6920-the-monitor-lehigh-by-dgbot-card-model/#entry203680 Completed Kingston Class MCVD http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/forum/10-kit-build-logs-in-progress/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louie da fly Posted November 4, 2016 Share #3 Posted November 4, 2016 I don't know about fully functional, but I'm pretty sure experiments were made in Napoleon's time but failed to go into full production because Napoleon refused to fund such a diabolical machine . . .

jud Posted November 4, 2016 Share #4 Posted November 4, 2016 The Turtle was used against the British during the Revolutionary War in an attempt to break the blockade. The mine could not be attached because the drill would not penetrate the copper bottom, otherwise the sub worked as intended. Don't remember where but there was an earlier under water vessel that used oars. jud thibaultron, Canute and mtaylor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike40 Posted November 4, 2016 Share #5 Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) What a great find David. I love the idea that the first submarines were made out of wood. I recently read a novel series 'Fletcher and the Mutineers' where a wooden submarine was an important part of the story. The three books claim to be based on the diary of an actual person. All 3 books were a fun read, especially the part with the submarine. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_ime_i_1_10?url=search-alias%3Ddigital-text&field-keywords=john+drake+fletcher+series&sprefix=john+drake%2Cundefined%2C235&crid=MGPYFEK373WW&rh=n%3A133140011%2Ck%3Ajohn+drake+fletcher+series Edited November 4, 2016 by Mike40 jud, thibaultron, Canute and 1 other 4 Quote Mike, an American living in Norway Current build: Galley Washington - 1:48 - Scratch POF - NRG plans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
normanh Posted November 13, 2016 Share #6 Posted November 13, 2016 A number of years back this submarine was featured in a model build in the forums.
