From there it traverses the Suez Tunnel, an underwater passage connecting the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea.Nautilus then visits the submerged land mass known as Atlantis, cruises in the South Atlantic and even noses up to the ice shelf in Antarctica, then reverses course, following the eastern seaboards of South and North America. The mythical voyage starts in Japan and crosses the South Pacific and the Indian Ocean before venturing into the Red Sea.

Wandering the seas, seemingly in exile, Nemo directs Nautilus on a series of global adventures. The story follows their undersea adventures aboard the Nautilus, a secret electric submarine. During the ensuing attack, three men are thrown into the sea and promptly captured by the steel beast. Regardless, as Verne’s story goes, it was deep in the Pacific where a frigate encounters a giant sea monster. At the time of Verne’s writing, no submarine could travel one league, let alone the fabled 20,000. In nautical terms, a league refers to a measure of distance traveled at sea, not to a measure of operating depth. It naturally followed that the world’s first nuclear-powered submarine should also carry the name Nautilus. But it was Robert Fulton’s primitive Nautilus of 1800 that inspired the name for Captain Nemo’s submarine.
He was highly influenced by the discovery of electricity as well as a model of the French submarine PLONGEUR. His submarine theme was inspired by the ongoing work of pioneer submarine designers as well as exhibits at the 1867 International Exposition in Paris where Verne witnessed progress in developing diving suits and other mechanical marvels. He saw stealth as the key to secret military operations. He envisioned a high-speed, deep-diving vessel that could travel under polar ice. Verne’s concept of a submarine was prophetic. Today, onboard the NAUTILUS (memorial museum) is a first edition of the novel it was also onboard during the submarine’s historic North Pole run. The British edition of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea followed two years later. In 1871, Jules Verne published the French edition of Vingt Mille Lieues Sous Les Mers -the classic adventure of Captain Nemo’s Nautilus submarine. The Royal Navy had eight sailing ships, a destroyer and a submarine named NAUTILUS but that’s another story. All in all, she made fourteen war patrols. Due to her large size, she was outfitted as an undersea troop carrier, landing Marines in the Gilbert Islands in August 1942 and again in November 1943 and putting scouts ashore on Attu in the Aleutians in May 1943. USS NAUTILUS (SS-168),a Narwhal-class diesel boat, saw WWII action in the Battle of Midway. There was USS NAUTILUS II (SP-559), a motor patrol boat, commissioned in 1917 for WWI service and there was an old diesel-electric boat, the decommissioned O-12 (SS-73), that was converted for use by the ill-fated 1931 Wilkins-Ellsworth Trans-Arctic Expedition and renamed Nautilus in honor of Jules Verne. There was a Holland-class submarine prototype originally named NAUTILUS at keel-laying that became USS H-2 (SS-29) in 1911. Two were sailing ships, a 12-gun schooner, commissioned in 1803, and another schooner, commissioned in 1847 for service in the Mexican-American War. Before USS NAUTILUS, there were five U.S. His prototype had a collapsible mast and sail for surface propulsion and a hand-turned propeller for underwater propulsion.
His submarine design was patented in France in 1798. Jenks, USN, Ret., Navigator, USS NAUTILUS (SSN-571) - North Pole Transit, 1958 NAUTILUS Lineageįrom the Greek word nautilos, meaning mariner,many vessels shared the name Nautilus, some long before the fictional Nautilus surfaced in Jules Verne’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. “It was the skipper’s intention to surface at the North Pole, but there was no break in the ice.” “What one man can conceive, another man can achieve.” - Jules Verne, 1873
