The Evolution of Submarine Technology: From Jules Verne's Imagination to Modern Giants
When Jules Verne published 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea in the 19th century, he sparked the imaginations of readers worldwide with his depiction of the Nautilus—a technologically advanced submarine that was considered far ahead of its time. With a length of 230 feet and a displacement of 1,600 tons, the Nautilus was a marvel of ingenuity. Verne's work was based on scientific principles, yet many skeptics at the time believed that such a vessel could never be constructed. However, the evolution of submarine technology has proven them wrong.
