- Abstract
The close of the year 1887 saw a new impetus given to submarine navigation on both sides of the Atlantic; in England by the very important, though unofficial trials of December 19th and 20th, at Southampton of the submarine Nordenfelt, and in the United States by the advertisement of the Secretary of the Navy asking for tenders for the construction of a steel submarine torpedo boat.
