Torpedo War, and Submarine Explosions

The original of 1810 is very scarce, only one copy having been sold at auction in many years: nor are copies to be found in any but a few of our libraries. Fulton's claims for his invention have been fully substantiated and some of his predictions, made more than a century ago, are remarkably interesting, in view of the events of the past five months. His estimate of our population in 1920 has already been exceeded in fact, and only his plan of affixing torpedoes to their prey by means of harpoons seemsfor it was made in the days of wooden shipsfantastic, in these days of iron clads. He could not foresee that almost exactly a century would elapse before his invention would be extensively usedthough he cautiously says "it is impossible to foresee to what degree torpedoes may be improved and rendered useful." I am happy to find you continue the firm friend to torpedoes; an infant art which requires only support and practice to produce a change in Maritime affairs of immence (sic) importance to this country. Expecting the enemy here, I have not been idle, I have prepared 9 torpedoes with locks that strike fire by concussion, and four with clockwork locks." ......Buy Now (To Read More)
