But at the San Francisco Flower & Garden Show here this week, visitors will delight in seeing the gorgeous Nautilus as the centerpiece of one of the two gardens landscape designer Nathan Beeck has in the competition for best of show. Photo by: Daniel Terdiman/CNET Jules Verne-inspired The Nautilus was created by a team of artists led by Sean Orlando, who, among other projects, also was the lead artist on the Raygun Gothic Rocketship , an Art Deco spaceship built for Burning Man in 2009.

Photo by: Daniel Terdiman/CNET Nautilus in the garden The Nautilus, seen in Beeck's garden. Each year at the San Francisco Flower & Garden Show, the show gardens are the prime attraction for thousands of visitors. Some of the leading garden designers and landscape architects vie for a series of awards. But each of the 16 entries is a stunning achievement. The Nautilus is part of "Vulcania: An Oasis for the Soul," one of two Beeck entries. "The dense foliage of exotic plants reaches to the sky, enveloping you and the sounds of falling water," the garden's description reads. "Light from a glowing lagoon plays across the surfaces of this whimsical, fantasy oasis, vibrating with a new energy. Then you see it: Captain Nemo's Nautilus, reborn out of the imagination of Burning Man, has returned to its island home.

The creative wonder it discovered on the Playa has infused the landscape and now radiates from all the botanical, sculptural, and exotic treasures that Captain Nemo has collected from his adventures around the world." Photo by: Daniel Terdiman/CNET Periscope No submarine would be complete without a periscope. Luckily, the Nautilus has one. In fact, it offers night vision, which was ideal at Burning Man, where the submarine first was seen by the public. Photo by: Daniel Terdiman/CNET Periscope view The view from the periscope, which in this case, is from the top deck of the Nautilus, overlooking the adjacent pond. Photo by: Daniel Terdiman/CNET Upper deck The upper deck of the Nautilus is actually a poop deck featuring shade and a harpoon gun. Photo by: Daniel Terdiman/CNET The harpoon gun shoots water, at up to 13 gallons a minute.

Which Real-Life Victorian Sub Inspired Jules Verne's Nautilus?

Go to permalink When Jules Verne wrote about the fantastic submersible ship Nautilus in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, there had already been several very successful submarines built and tested. And Verne, who always did his homework, was certainly aware of these. Which was his inspiration? Advertisement There was the fabulous Icteneo ("new fish"), invented by Narcis Monturiol and launched in 1864. Like the Nautilus, it was designed largely for undersea research, and even included a pair of large portholes in its flanks for observation. But this submarine didn't look especially like Verne's description of the Nautilus, nor was it very big, being only about 45 feet long. A full-size replica of the Ictineo can be seen in Barcelona. Another candidate often pitched as an influence on Verne was Le Plongeur ("the diver"), invented by Captain Simeon Bourgeois and launched in 1863, it was the first submarine to be powered by mechanical means: a compressed-air engine operating a reciprocating engine. It was also the largest submarine built up until that time.

At 140 feet, it was only about 1/3 smaller than the Nautilus. It was armed with a torpedo held at the end of a long spar attached to the prow, similar to the weapon employed by the unlucky C.S.S. Hunley during the American Civil War. One unique feature the Le Plongeur shared with the Nautilus was a lifeboat set into a recessed socket in the deck. While Verne was of course influenced in general by the many submarine experiments taking place at the time he wrote his novel—and the Nautilus was in large part an amalgam that combined features from many of these—was any one particular vessel the direct inspiration for Captain Nemo’s fabulous sub? Advertisement There is a very likely candidate that, ironically, was not a submarine at all. American inventor Ross Winans built the first of his remarkable "roller ships" at Ferry Bay, Baltimore, in 1858. Newspapers of the time rhapsodized how it “will inaugurate a new era in naval architecture.” It was certainly like nothing else afloat.

It had no keel, no masts, no rigging...not even a deck (in lieu of which the ship had a flattened space about 16 feet long to which were riveted four settees). Instead, it was a streamlined cigar-shape. Perhaps its strangest feature was the ring-shaped propeller that circled the waist of the ship. Advertisement Sponsored The roller ship under construction: Winans expected his ship to cross the Atlantic in four days...about half the current record time. He explained that he could do this because of the ship’s streamlining and lack of any excess weight. Winans hoped that his roller ships would revolutionize transatlantic travel, and would be the fastest and steadiest ships afloat. The secret of his ship's speed was in the novel propelling system that Winans developed. This consisted of turbine-like blades set in an annular band around the ship's waist. The smooth curves of his ship were otherwise unbroken except for two smokestacks, a narrow, curved deck and a combined ventilator and lookout platform.” There was a 4x3-foot rudder at either end. Propulsion was provided by four high-pressure steam engines.

The original ship was 180 feet long with a maximum diameter of 16 feet and would carry 20 passengers. It was made of iron and divided into watertight compartments. Because of this and the ship’s arched walls, Winans boasted it would be safe “from danger of sinking in case of collision or other mishap.” After the initial testing of the first ship, several more were built, including one for the Russian government. All suffered from the same problems: weak rudders, rolling and excessive water breaking over their bows. Nevertheless, one was described as having carried twenty passengers on "a fast run to England in 1859." Which must have been quite something. The low freeboard of the ship allowed even small waves to break over the deck, and there was nothing to prevent the ship from rolling, making it a nightmare for the seasickness-prone. Advertisement After struggling with it for two years, Winans finally abandoned the annular propeller. The Russian ship was built in 1861 and, on Winans' advice, fitted with a more conventional stern propeller. This worked so well that two more ships were built, one of them tested on the Thames in 1864.

Named the Ross Winans, it differed considerably from its predecessors. It was 256 feet long and had a flat deck 130 feet in length (the Nautilus was 230 feet long). It also had screws at either end. These were described as being "enormous fans that were but half immersed and hit the sea like flails when they revolved," recalling to mind the many references Verne made to the Nautilus' oversized propeller breaking the surface when the submarine was not submerged. This is a feature of the Nautilus not otherwise explainable. Two of Winans' cigar-shaped ships survived until just after the turn of this century, moored off the Royalty Pier at Southampton, England. As the author of Freak Ships (1936) aptly remarked, Winan’s ship "recalls to mind at once Jules Verne's Nautilus...,” and even the authors of Picture History of the U.S. Navy (1956) compared the Winan ship to the Nautilus. For good reason, too.

Since the testing of Winans' ships took place in Europe in 1864, during the time when Verne was researching 20,000 Leagues, and were widely covered in the media, it can hardly have escaped his notice. (In fact, Verne says in the novel that the Nautilus "is very like a cigar in shape, a shape already adopted in London in several constructions of the same sort.") Verne’s Nautilus had almost exactly the same size and proportions as the cigar ship, was a streamlined cigar shape and possessed an oversized propeller, a feature explicitly emphasized by Verne. On the other hand, the Nautilus shared only a few features with contemporary submarines. Just compare the Winan cigar ship with photos of an accurate model showing the Nautilus exactly as described by Verne... I rest my case. Advertisement Advertisement The model, by the way, is a paper kit available here . It is based on my recreation of the Nautilus, which I did while working on the special edition of the novel I created for Unicorn Press.

While working on the illustrations for that edition, I went over the text literally word-for-word, looking for anything that was even remotely related to the design and appearance of the submarine...right down to the exact number of steps leading up to Nemo's cabin (three) and the shape of the ram (its cross-section is an isosceles triangle). There were a lot of surprises. For instance, how much the "real" Nautilus resembles a modern nuclear submarine. Another surprise was that the big circular portholes in the sides—an iconic feature of virtually every depiction of the submarine—were in fact rectangular (something a modern engineer would balk at doing). Jules Verne often worked closely with his illustrators—occasionally even providing sketches and diagrams for them to follow. For instance, there is a surviving sketch of his flying machine, the Albatross, that he provided his illustrator, Leon Bennett. I strongly suspect he did the same for Alphonse de Neuville and Edouard Riou, the illustrators of 20,000 Leagues. There is a hint of this in one of de Neuville's illustrations.

This depicts Captain Nemo explaining the workings of the Nautilus to Professor Arronax as he points outs out its features on a large schematic. Did the artist copy this from a diagram that Verne himself provided? Some of the vaguely hinted-at details do indeed match the actual layout of the submarine. I strongly believe that there was such a schematic: Verne's descriptions of the interior details are far too consistent for him to have not had such a plan. Advertisement The most difficult part of Verne's description for me to work out was the operation of the pilot house and lantern. Both are described as having sloping sides—yet both could be retracted flush into the hull, leaving the deck smooth. For my design I adopted the compromise solution worked out by Nautilus scholar Michael Crisafulli , whose website is an absolute goldmine of Nautiloid lore and research. And this is the result, Jules Verne's Nautilus as it really looked: Gear from Kinja Deals Submarines - Steam Noir Steam Noir Atlanta Airport show New Nautilus model I made this model of the Nautilus both to replace one that I sold, and to make it more accurate to the book.I just need to have this one in my collection.

The Jules Verne Nautilus This model was designed from Jules Verne's descriptions and the original illustrations in his 1870's novel "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea". Although this craft looks less elegant than the Nautilus that Hollywood came up with, its design is in keeping with the first real submarines. Here in this detail image, Professor Aronnax can be seen arguing with Captain Nemo over the fate of humanity. This Model is now the property of Mr. Todd E Pullen. The Harper Goff Nautilus f Designed for Disney's "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea", the original model was created by Harper Goff to have more Victorian styling as well as elements making it more "seamonster like" in the water. Although hydrodynamic tests proved it to be sound, a full size working model has never been created. But I have been informed that a 1/2 size one has been created for the Prince of Bahrain. The giant squid attacking this Nautilus model is over three-feet long and was sculpted completely out of pipe cleaners by Laura Butler.

The Pioneer Built in Mobile Bay, by C.L.Hunley prior to the construction of the CSS Hunley, this craft was a prototype and never used. Its armament was a mine that was released and dragged behind the submarine on a cable until it found its target, where it would explode on impact. The main problem with this delivery system being that the cable could foul the propeller in which case a side-current could cause the bomb to impact the side of the submarine. It was captured by the Union Army in 1863 and displayed in the Washington Navy yard until sold for scrap in 1867. The American Diver Built by C.L. Hunley after the Pioneer. The American Diver or Pioneer II as it is sometimes called, sank in Mobile Bay while being towed out to begin an attack on the Union fleet. Having only a three man crew it was woefully underpowered and not able to fight the incoming tide. A description of this submarine appeared in the news papers of France, Jules Verne possibly saw this description and incorporated many of the American Diver's unique attributes on the Nautilus, such as the dual conning towers. C.S.S. H.L.

Hunley The Hunley was the first submarine to successfully sink a ship. On February 17, 1864; she sank the U.S.S. Housatonic off in Charleston Harbor using a 90-pound spar torpedo. It rammed into a spot near the rear powder magazine just below the main fighting deck where much of the ships 7,000 pounds of gunpowder were stored. The Hunley required an eight man crew and sank twice before her final mission, taking 21 men to a watery death. She was found in 1999 by a dive team led by author Clive Cussler and was salvaged in 2000. The Hunley is now at the Warren Lasch Conservation Center in South Carolina. The Alligator (Naval Institute Press Version) This is a prime example of why you should always find as many references as you can before jumping in and building a model. The Alligator shown here is how the book ï¿½U.S. Submarines Through 1945ï¿½ from the Naval Institute Press says it looked. I said, ï¿½Cool!ï¿½ and went to work on the job.

It took 26 hours to build and paint. I was happy with how it came out and chalked up one more historic submarine for my collection. However, two days after I put it up on my display shelf, I read on a news site that Brutus de Villeroi's original plans had been found in Paris , France . I took one look and saw that my model looked nothing like the original blueprints. It turns out that the N.I.Pï¿½s diagrams are conjecture and were never verified! I am now working on a more accurate model and history of this wonderful and inventive man-powered sub. The Alligatior as it really was! Gustave Zede' The Gustave Zede was an important step forward in French submarine design however it wasn't a very successful one. She carried two torpedos in Drzewecki's drop collars which left them exposed to damage at dock side. It was also bad at maintaining a constant depth and eventually required three sets of hydroplanes to aid this design flaw. The Gustave Zede was 159 ft. long, 10 ft. in diameter and was powered by a 208 ehp motor.

Still, I like her lines and the rivet constrution. The Garrett Nordenfeldt 1886 After George William Littler Garrett's "success" with the first steam powered submarine, the Resurgam, in 1879, he was commissioned by the Turkish government to build two steam-powered submarines in 1886. They were built and shipped in sections to Constantinople where they were reassembled. The first one sank almost immediately after being launched and strangely enough they could not find another crew to pilot either vessel. They remained dry-dock until 1914 when they were blown up by the German army to prevent them from becoming a public safety hazard. German Nordenfelt Two German Nordenfelts were built in Germany in 1890,you could call them U boat one and two but they proved No more successful than their predecessors. Very little is known about These submarines, but the ï¿½snoutï¿½ appears to be the torpedo ï¿½ tube. Holland 1 The Holland was the first unqualified success in submarine history.

Little more than 50 feet in length and large enough to house a crew of five and one torpedo tube, but small enough to be extremely manoeuverable and responsive to control, this prototype became the first modern submarine of the US Navy. The Holland had a twin propulsion system with surface power provided by a 45 horsepower gas engine with a top speed of 7 knots and a range of 1,000 miles and a battery powered electric motor of 50 mile range and a top speed of 5 knots.The boat was also equipped with an aerial torpedo gun, a type of air cannon this was a failuer and was soon removed. This model is a bit of an experiment. I wanted a smooth hull with no seems but still using cardboard and paper, my friend Joe Waskul suggested I try papier-mï¿½chï¿½ and see if this would provide a smooth seamless hull form but still use a form of paper.

I first made a male mold of one side of the hull in clay on a board and coated it with petroleum grease then I mixed a solution of Elmerï¿½s glue and flour and layered strips of newspaper in the mixture and let it sit, next I laid up the paper on the mold 1/8th of an inch thick and let it dry for two days. Next I carefully cut the hull half of the mold and pulled it off, I repeated the process and got two halves, now it all goes wrong! I had a brilliant idea! I would glue the two halves together and fill it with foam this would prevent ï¿½oil canningï¿½ when I sanded it smooth, so I glued it together and filled it with foam, I put in way too much! and when I took a look at it the next day the foam had burst the side of the hull and leaked out all over the workbench and floor what a mess, my sub looked like a fish that had been gutted by a bear.

The hull was a total loss so I had to start all over again , this time I put the foam in only one side at a time and cut the overfill off and with it nice and dry I put the two halves together and glued and filled and got a smooth curved hull just like the pictures. The upper works and propeller are cardboard and glue like all my other models. I will be using this method again because it saves sanding time and I donï¿½t have to cut as much card board formers to get nice curves. The Seal Originally launched from a Virginia shipyard in 1911 as the Seal. This submarine was renamed G-1 when she was commisioned in the U.S.N. in 1912. After a long tour of duty as a testing and training vessel, she was decommisioned in 1920 and later imploded by depthcharge tests in 1921. The Welman The Welman is a World War II two-man sub powered with a gasoline engine that lacked proper venthiation and caused a number of deaths to its crewmen due to carbon monoxide poisoning.

The craft's torpedos were too small to do be much of a threat to the battleships of that era and it had a limited range. It featured a twin hatch design and an overall styling that would influence the developement of submarines for that period. Dupuy de Lome Named after the famed architect of armored naval vessels, this French submarine was first launched in 1915. It was decommissioned and scrapped in 1935. Ictineo II (Fish boat in greek) In 1864, in Barcelona harbor, Narcis Monturiol launched the Ictineo II: the worldï¿½s first true submarine. It was over 17 meters long, displaced 72 tonnes and had a working depth of up to 30 meters. What made this sub so unusual was its chemically powered steam engine. It required fuel rods much like uranium rods in a reactor, but used a chemical reaction to heat the water in the boiler, while at the same time the reaction produced pure oxygen for the crew! The hull was made out of olive wood to keep cost down for the prototype, but an all metal boat was planned for the Ictineo III.

This boat had an under water time of eight hours with no lack of oxygen! The only limit was the number of fuel rods it could hold. The Ictineo III could have revolutionized submarine technology, but when Monturiolï¿½s funding ran out, his submarine was broken up and sold for scrap. The Penguin This search and recovery submarine was developed for the National Underwater and Marine Agency (NUMA) in 1961. In Clive Cusslers novel "Raise the Titanic" it was used by Dirk Pitt director of Special Projects at NUMA to salvage the Titanic. The Black Manta The Black Manta has been the arch-nemisis of Aquaman ever since his first appearance in DC Comics, Aquaman #35 (Sept. 1967). The unique styling of his high-tech attack sub was inspired by the manta ray. The Nautilus from the Secret Sea This Model of the Nautilus is from one of the earliest Steam punk works I know of. The book is The Secret Sea by Thomas F. Monteleon and was first published in 1979.

The story is about a newly rich man discovering that there are ï¿½Fluxï¿½ gates from this world to others and how to move through them. In the next world over he finds himself and his companion in the middle of a war between Capitan Nemo and his arch enemy Robur the Conqueror. I loved this book and still have a copy of it in my library itï¿½s a little dated and a lot corny but I still reread it once in a while.

TV ACRES: Transportation > Boats > Submarines > Nautilus (Return of Captain Nemo) Submarines Nautilus - Futuristic submarine on the sci-fi adventure THE RETURN OF CAPTAIN NEMO/CBS/1978. Jose Ferrer starred as Captain Nemo, the scientific genius and creator of the Nautilus, the 19th century submarine from Jules Verne's classic novel "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea." When the Nautilus got wedged under a coral reef in the year 1878, Captain Nemo placed himself in suspended animation. A century later, an explosion from a Navy war game depth charge dislodged the Nautilus. With the assistance of the US Navy, Captain Nemo was resurrected from his long sleep and soon agreed to aid the US Navy in exchange for the government's promise to repair his submarine.

Another submarine seen on the short-lived series was The Raven, commanded by Professor Waldo Cunningham's (Burgess Meredith). Portions of the 3 episode series were reedited into a theatrically released film called The Amazing Captain Nemo. TRIVIA NOTE: The tale of the Nautilus submarine surfaced in two Walt Disney enterprises. First in the fantasy-adventure motion picture 2000 Leagues Under The Sea (1954) starring James Mason, Kirk Douglas, Paul Lukas and Peter Lorre and later as a ride at the Disneyland Theme Park in Anaheim, CA. The film Nautilus depicted the famous submarine in the Jules Verne novel "20,000 leagues Under the Sea." The theme park ride featured the USS Nautilus - the world's first nuclear-powered submarine that traveled below the polar ice cap of the artic ocean on August 3, 1958 with its crew of 116 to become the first ship to cross the geographic North Pole.

A year later in June 1959, Walt Disney opened a Submarine Lagoon ride at Disneyland with scaled down diesel versions of the USS Nautilus and seven sister submarines - the Triton, Sea Wolf, Skate, Skipjack, George Washington, Patrick Henry, and Ethan Allen (built by Todd Shipyards in San Pedro). The ride simulated the voyage under the North Pole taken by crew of the USS Nautilus and its Commander William R. Anderson. A sister attraction in The Magic Kingdom in Florida featured nine submarines resembling the Nautilus in the 1954 Disney film. The Florida Submarine ride opened in 1971 and closed in 1994. The West Coast sub ride at Disneyland closed after forty years in 1998 (the subs were painted yellow in mid-1980s). For an "in-depth" story on submarines read: "Father of the Submarine" (a biography of George Garrett) by William Scanlan Murphy.
