Download or read book David Bushnell and His American Turtle written by David Bushnell and published by The Minerva Group, Inc.. This book was released on 2004 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Bushnell's 1776 invention, the American Turtle, the first submarine ever to be used in combat, was actually constructed as an afterthought. Bushnell and fellow Yale University intellectual, Phineas Pratt, had conceived of the underwater bomb with a time delayed flintlock detonator. The one-man, hand-propelled sub was designed simply to transport the bomb to the enemy vessel. The American Turtle was successfully launched in the dark of night on September 6/7, 1776 against the British flagship, HMS Eagle, a 64 gun frigate moored in New York harbor off of the island now occupied by the Statue of Liberty. The Turtle had undergone extensive test trials in the safe colonial waters of the Connecticut River off Old Saybrook, Connecticut, piloted by the inventor's brother, Ezra Bushnell. Unfortunately, on the eve of the submarine's first combat mission, Ezra Bushnell died. With a freshly recruited, but less practiced pilot, Ezra Lee of Old Lyme, Connecticut, the American Turtle made its way underwater to the rudder of the Eagle's hull. Unfortunately, Lee first struck metal rather than wood with the screw intended to attach the bomb to the enemy's hull. After a second failed attempt, Lee propelled the American Turtle away, only to be observed and chased. The bomb was released into the water and resulted in a frightening explosion. While the American Turtle failed to destroy its target, the British recognized the threat and moved the fleet. Weather problems, and other operating difficulties prevented a successful attack by the submarine before it was scuttled by the British while being transported.Bushnell is a man of great mechanical powers, fertile in invention and a master of execution-- General George Washington, September 26, 1785

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Bushnell sat on the bank of the Connecticut River. He kept scanning the water for signs of life. At first there was nothing. Suddenly two curved metal pipes rose out of the water. David smiled. The pipes came toward him slowly. A moment later a large round tube appeared under the pipes. The top of the tube flipped open. Out popped a young man's head."I think it's going to work," the man said."How does she handle," David asked."She's very slow," came the answer. "I would hate to use her in a storm. She tends to wobble back and forth a bit.""So she moves like a Turtle?" David asked."Yep," the man said with a smile. This was their own little joke.
