EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Goubet II, a remarkable French electrically powered submarine that was adopted by the Russian government in 1890. Designed by the brilliant engineer Claude Goubet, this innovative underwater vessel underwent trials at Cherbourg in 1889, where it achieved an impressive feat of remaining submerged for a staggering 8 hours at a depth of 33 feet. Even more astonishingly, it maintained telegraphic communication with the surface throughout its submersion. Despite these groundbreaking achievements, the Goubet II proved to be too unstable to navigate effectively. Nevertheless, this photograph immortalizes an important milestone in maritime history and highlights France's contribution to scientific advancements during the late 19th century. The image depicts a group of sailors aboard the submarine as they engage in their duties. The monochrome aesthetic adds a sense of nostalgia and authenticity to this historical moment captured on film. It serves as a reminder of how far naval warfare has come since then and pays homage to those who dared to explore new frontiers through technological innovation. This print is not only an intriguing piece for enthusiasts interested in water transport or submarines but also appeals to anyone fascinated by concepts such as invention, science, and human ingenuity.
