The trials of this groundbreaking vessel took place in Cherbourg in 1889, where it successfully submerged for an impressive 8 hours at a depth of 33 feet. What truly set this submarine apart was its ability to maintain telegraphic communication with the surface while underwater.
The electricity needed to power this advanced technology was produced by wet batteries, showcasing the ingenuity and forward-thinking nature of its creators. This engraving from 1890 beautifully illustrates the marvel of engineering that was this electrically powered submarine.
As we look back on this momentous achievement in naval history, we are reminded of the importance of innovation and progress in shaping our world. The adoption of such cutting-edge technology by the Russian government speaks to their commitment to staying ahead in maritime advancements.
This print serves as a testament to human creativity and determination, capturing a pivotal moment in naval warfare. The legacy of Goubet's design lives on through images like these, inspiring future generations to push boundaries and explore new frontiers in technology and exploration.
