Invention of Naval Architect Fifty Years Ago
A 1852 proposal by New York naval architect Darius Davison described a 700 foot under water hull vessel with a distinct upper hull, aiming for 30 mph and New York to England in five days. The plan featured 16 watertight engine compartments totaling about 5,000 horsepower, a detachable propulsion array, and a hull designed to be unsinkable. Davison also envisioned sailing ships and yachts using the same hull concept, though no records show any responses or follow-through.
