	The Submarine Pioneers BUY

	Richard Compton-Hall has combined research with his own experience as a submariner to provide an insight into the inventions and motivations of the early submarine pioneers. This study explodes a number of popular myths, such as the claim that David Bushnell's one-man Turtle chased the British fleet out of New York Harbour in 1776. The truth about underwater exploration, however, is stranger than the fiction - not least because of its secrets and brotherhoods, duplicity and deception, determination and despair, frequent failure and rare triumph.
