Electric Boat Corporation has been a world leader in submarine development, design, and construction for more than a century. In 1900, the company delivered the Holland, the first submarine accepted by the United States Navy. Fifty-five years later, it turned fantasy into fact by sending the worlds first nuclear-powered ship, the submarine Nautilus, off on its maiden voyage. It later built the worlds first ballistic missilefiring submarine, the George Washington, and most of the nations current underseas fleet. Between those years, it pioneered standardized construction of merchant ships, submarine chasers, torpedo boats, and yachts and also produced airplanes, fishing trawlers, diesel engines, and electric motors. This collection of more than 200 archival photographs traces the companys sometimes roller-coaster existence through 10 historic decades when Americaand Electric Boat Corporationgrew into an industrial giant. It is an engaging collective portrait of American ingenuity, know-how, and persistence driving technology to new heights.

Electric propulsion for boats was developed in the early 19th century and--despite the advent of the internal combustion engine--continued with the perfecting of the modern turbo-electric ship. Sustainable and hybrid technologies, pioneered in small inland watercraft toward the end of the 20th century, have in recent years been scaled up to create integrated electric drives for the largest ocean-going vessels. This comprehensive history traces the birth and rebirth of the electric boat from 1835 to the present, celebrating the Golden Age of electric launches, 1880-1910.

From the inspired fiction of Jules Verne to the dark menace of the Cold War, submarines have captivated the imaginations of millions for more than a century. Many inventors have been credited for the submarine, but one significant figure has been seriously overlooked. Without the efforts of Simon Lake, underwater navigation would be quite different from what it is today. Argonaut illustrates Lake's creativity and passion.
