| HMS Talisman left Gibraltar on 10th September 1942 with stores bound for Malta. She reported sighting a U-boat off Philippeville, Algeria on the 14th, but was not heard from again. HMS Talisman is presumed to have been lost on Italian mines in off Sicily. Though Italians claim to have sunk a submarine on the 17/9/1942 to the north west of Malta. Talisman had been due to arrive at Malta on 18th September 1942. | |
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.
