Also..... From the Intrepid
Sea-Air-Space Museum in NYC:
"Plunge into the underwater world and
explore pioneering submarines, including a full sized replica of the "Turtle,"
a wooden sub used in New York Harbor during the American Revolution. Step
into the Turtle and work its hand cranked propellers like the pioneers
of undersea exploration. In addition to models replicas, videos and interactive
kiosks, the World's first truly modern submarine, the Holland One is on
display."
