Note: 1860's also produced the iron boat CSA Hunley
and the iron boat USS Alligator as submersibles.

Hi Fred,
I think it is mine, a big steel thing first floating in 1530, by the looks of it.
Before IKB pitched up with a copy of the plans, took them to Prontaprint for an enlargement, and had the "Brittania" riveted together.
Oh well, a lick of bitumen and some gloss & varnish later...
I appear to be still afloat.
Displacement & all that.
Or perhaps it was my great uncle Henry, who sank miserably in an old tin bathtub, with a bit of wood stuck in the plug-hole, on an expedition across a Northumbian lake, which lasted about 10 yards before the amusing inevitable happened.
