Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The Remarkable History And Reconstruction Of The First Operational Submarineat The Onset Of The American Revolution, The British Expected To Quell The Rebellion Quickly With A Show Of Overwhelming Force. In An Experiment In Asymmetric Warfare, David Bushnell Created The First Submarine Vessel Designed Specifically For The Destruction Of Vessels Of War. On A Quiet September Night In 1776, Sergeant Ezra Lee Maneuvered Bushnells Strange Little Craft Out From Manhattan And Into The Midst Of The Greatest Naval Fleet Ever Assembled In The Americas. Lees Goal Was To Sink The British Flagship Hms Eagle By Attaching A Powerful Explosive To Its Hull. Although The Mission Was Unsuccessful, Bushnells Concept Of Submarine Warfare Was Considered By George Washington To Have Been An Effort Of Genius.David Bushnell Was Raised In The Town Of Saybrook At The Mouth Of The Connecticut River. More Than Two Centuries Later, Another Turtle Would Be Launched Into The Same River Within Sight Of Bushnells First Forays With His Vessel During The Summer Of 1775. Under The Direction Of Technical Arts Teacher Frederic J. Frese, Students At Old Saybrook High School Created A Working Replica Of Bushnells Submarine, Facilitated Through An Education Partnership With The Naval Undersea Warfare Center In Newport, Rhode Island, Where Roy R. Manstan Was A Mechanical Engineer And Navy Trained Diver. With Twentyfirst Century Submariners At The Helm, The Turtle Replica Was Subjected To A Series Of Operational Tests At The Mystic Seaport Museum In Mystic, Connecticut.In Turtle: David Bushnells Revolutionary Vessel, The Authors Provide New Insight Into Bushnells Engine Of Devastation, Tracing The History Of Undersea Warfare Before Bushnell And The Origin Of The Many Innovations Bushnell Understood Would Be Necessary For Conducting A Covert Submarine Attack. The Knowledge Gained From Testing The Turtle Replica Enabled The Authors To Speculate As To What Americas First Submariner Ezra Lee Experienced That September Night And What May Have Caused The Attack To Fail.
