Back to 400 Years of Subs
This drawing of Halsey's boat depicts a technical
Turtle clone, with an "air tube to shove up when at the
surface" at the top and a "water cock" and "force pump" at the
bottom. The operator has one hand on the tiller, the other on
a crank used to turn the propeller and drill bit. A line
attaches the 'torpedo' to the drill.
