dgbot Posted November 1, 2016 #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 Canute, Tadeusz43, jud 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/

Louie da fly Posted November 4, 2016 #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 . . . thibaultron, Canute and mtaylor 3 Quote It's not really a ship model unless you've bled on it.

jud Posted November 4, 2016 #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 Canute, mtaylor and thibaultron 3 Quote
Mike40 Posted November 4, 2016 #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
normanh Posted November 13, 2016 #6 Posted November 13, 2016 A number of years back this submarine was featured in a model build in the forums. Cant remember much all that data has been lost now.
