In 1776 a wooden turtle quietly invented submarine warfare. In 1776, as British warships dominated American waters during the Revolutionary War, inventor David Bushnell believed the colonies needed a weapon the world had never seen. He built a small, egg-shaped vessel made mostly of wood, sealed tightly and powered by hand-cranked propellers. Inside, a single operator could steer, dive, surface, and control ballast — all by muscle alone. The craft carried a timed explosive designed to be drilled

During the American Revolution, Bushnell crafted the "Turtle," a submarine primarily built from wood and powered by hand-cranked propellers. This unconventional vessel was designed for a single occupant and had the primary mission of attaching explosives to British ships, hoping to break the naval blockade around New York Harbor.

The first submersible, a pioneering feat in underwater exploration, was the Turtle, designed by American inventor David Bushnell in 1775 during the Revolutionary War. This one-man, wooden vessel, resembling a barrel with a propeller and rudder, was the first submarine used in combat.

Its purpose was to attach explosive devices to B
