EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating engraving from the 18th century showcases the Presentation of the instructions for use of the 'suit' or scuba diving device, a revolutionary invention by Jacob Rowe. The device, resembling a tube in which a person can lie down while maintaining freedom of movement of their arms, is held up by an assembly of floating barrels.
The technical description provided in this artwork offers insight into how this innovative scuba diving apparatus was assembled and used. It is truly remarkable to see how early inventors like Rowe were able to come up with such groundbreaking ideas that paved the way for modern underwater exploration.
The intricate details captured in this engraving highlight not only the complexity of the device itself but also the skill and craftsmanship of its creator. This image serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our endless quest for discovery and adventure.
Displayed at the National Maritime Museum in London, UK, this piece is a reminder of how far we have come in terms of technology and innovation. It is a snapshot of history that continues to inspire curiosity and wonder about what lies beneath the surface of our oceans.
