Going Deep

John Philip Holland and the Invention of the Attack Submarine

Lawrence Goldstone
After surveying early submersibles such as the Confederate Hunley that sank the USS Housatonic in the American Civil War, this account profiles the inventor of the first truly viable submarines: the Irish-born, New York-based schoolteacher John Philip Holland. It explains his technical innovations and recounts his struggles with Congress, Wall Street backers and a sceptical naval bureaucracy to gain acceptance for a weapon that would prove deadly in two world wars.
