Abstract
Abstract After a few brief historical notes on early hand-propelled submarines, the author describes Holland’s first practical submarine, a construction made possible by employing the gasoline engine, storage batteries and electric motors — all then in process of development. He then deals with the construction, equipment and operation of the U. S. Submarine M-1, a boat 200 ft. in length, discussing such topics as the periscope, Diesel submarine engines, diving, balancing, the rescue of men from a sunken submarine, etc. Incidentally, several misconceptions under which the author of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea labored, are pointed out.
