Fulton Submarine Boat and Early Nautilus Experiments
M Eugene Debose of the French Navy reports in a published paper that Robert Fulton launched a submarine named the Nautilus near Rouen on a date in 1800. The craft operated for ten hours over water between Bannapur and the Woodyard of Citizen Thibault at a depth of 25 feet, rising and sinking by a hand driven screw. Fulton then sailed down the Seine to Havre where he secured no support from French nor British governments during Napoleonic wars. The note recalls Debose’s memoirs asserting there is no new thing under the sun in submarine boats or screws.
