Most people probably think of submarines as fairly modern inventions that date back no more than a hundred years. However, the world’s first use of a submarine in warfare took place in 1776 when the American vessel The Turtle attempted to attach a time bomb to the bottom of the British ship Eagle in New York harbor. It was hand powered and could only accommodate one person aboard. Unfortunately, the mission failed, and the bomb blew up far away from its intended target.
