The "Turtle" was the first submersible used in underwater combat. Even though it wasn’t completely successful, it did set the precedent for submersible combat.

The Turtle operator tried to attach an explosive, via drill, to the British ship. The plan was to attach it, and explode it as the ship left the harbor, but after a long attempt, and much sweating and straining, on the part of the operator, gave up. He didn’t know the haul was reinforced by steel. Still, not being one to leave the job undone, the operator detonated the unattached bomb in the harbor. It didn’t sink any ship, but it was enough to scare the British out of that harbor. They couldn’t believe that someone had been able to penetrate undetected that deep into their ship yard. They also, had never seen or heard of a submarine before.

@DoggoneNexus Жыл бұрын

The CG model should have paddle propellers, not screws. And the mission's failure probably had less to do with the paper-thin copper lining of the ship than with exhaustion and oxygen deprivation. In any case, the operator was lucky to escape with his life.

@LunarHorizonProductions Жыл бұрын

That's not a submarine it's a submersible, a submarine can move under it's own power a submersible can not. This one in particular needs a human inside for it to move. The presenter even calls it a submersible in the video. The worlds first practical submarine was invented and built by John Philip Holland and was called the Fenian Ram.

@spencerkr5778 11 ай бұрын

Plenty of submersibles have non-human power. The thing that makes submersibles different is that they require launching from a support ship, whereas submarines are standalone vessels, so the turtle clearly qualifies

Not a bad first attempt of a submersible, although flawed. The drill didn't penetrate the copper in the hulls. However the explosive device inside the barrel did explode, after being set loose by the Turtle in the East River. It would have most likely sunk the ship if the barrel with the explosive was attached to the ship's hull. While the attempt was a failure, we are still discussing the attempt with interest 240 years later...
