- Abstract
It was reported in the Annales Industrielles that the first of these two man electric submarines (length 16 feet 5 inches, beam 3 feet three and a half inches, depth 5 feet 10 inches; displacement 1,800 litres of water) constructed by M. Goubet, of Paris, led to an order from the Russian Government for the mechanisms for three hundred boats, of which fifty were built in Paris and delivered in early 1883.
