Fulton's Submarine
Robert Fulton (1765-1815)
"On Submarine Navigation and Attack"
Bound manuscript, August 1806
Manuscript Division
Gift, 1924 (124.2)
Napoleon commissioned the first practical
submarine, designed by the American
inventor Robert Fulton. Testing of this craft,
the Nautilus, was successfully carried out in
France in 1800-1801, when Fulton and three
mechanics descended to a depth of 25 feet.
This bound manuscript provides explanatory
text for Fulton's illustrations of the
construction and propulsion of the
submarine.
In 1807 the famous Clermont, Fulton's first
commercially viable steamship, sailed from
New York to Albany, and proved to a nation
of farmers and craftsmen that the U.S. could
compete technologically with Europe.
