Description
I in baton Rouge, Louisiana for a few days at my son's house so that why I did not post much and will not post intill next week.
I went to the Louisiana State museum and it is free so go there and it be good. i went thought it in 2 hours as it is not that big.
They had this real civil war submarine there they find in Lake Pontchartrain near the mouth of bayou St. John in New Orleans in 1878. No one knows how it got there or the name of the sub.
May people thought it was the CSS Pioneer intill in 1998 the sketches of the CSS pioneer was discovered sand the people saw it was not even closet to this submarine at all. So the mystery remains.
As you see my son closet to the sub in the photo it is not big at all.

It's called a prototype and it failed that's why it was at the bottom of a lake. There were many attempts at designs that failed. Excellent captures! :)

Cool collage of the boilerplate undersea craft, Jock. The environment inside that boat must not have been very comfortable.

A fascinating machine and bit of history, Jock! In the second photo it appears to have a propeller - or screw in nautical terms - on the end to the right. I don't think I'd like to be the guy that piloted this thing...

Mysterious machine. The design is interesting and seems functional. Great find!!

I have read a lot about those old submarines. Fascinating. The very first (in wood), was refused by Napoleon the first, as wrong for a "classical" war against english vessels.
