Submarine pioneer Bushnell and early naval warfare notes
A dated August 1717 letter from Ar r rocus to Meare Admiral Parker shows Hushoell's submarine boat near Jeast making British commanders cautious. Early 1778 actions by Bushnell used kegs to attack ships on the Delaware but mud and darkness limited damage. Bushnell, born 1737, studied at Yale 1776, later lived in France and Georgia under a mistaken alias. He died in 1820 at age 53.
