The Turtle operator tried to attach an explosive, via drill, to the British ship. The plan was to attach it, and explode it as the ship left the harbor, but after a long attempt, and much sweating and straining, on the part of the operator, gave up. He didn’t know the haul was reinforced by steel. Still, not being one to leave the job undone, the operator detonated the unattached bomb in the harbor. It didn’t sink any ship, but it was enough to scare the British out of that harbor. They couldn’t believe that someone had been able to penetrate undetected that deep into their ship yard. They also, had never seen or heard of a submarine before.
The CG model should have paddle propellers, not screws. And the mission's failure probably had less to do with the paper-thin copper lining of the ship than with exhaustion and oxygen deprivation. In any case, the operator was lucky to escape with his life.
I am directly related to Bushnell through my mother’s mother. In fact, my mom’s mom’s brother is named Pierre Bushnell McBride, founder of Louisville Porcelain Products and was a benefactor to Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio. He gave the football field.
Seems like having this thing take a swimmer out who could dive to the edge or underside of the ship and plant the explosives would’ve been a little more effective, and much safer.
That's not a submarine it's a submersible, a submarine can move under it's own power a submersible can not. This one in particular needs a human inside for it to move. The presenter even calls it a submersible in the video. The worlds first practical submarine was invented and built by John Philip Holland and was called the Fenian Ram.
Plenty of submersibles have non-human power. The thing that makes submersibles different is that they require launching from a support ship, whereas submarines are standalone vessels, so the turtle clearly qualifies
Not a bad first attempt of a submersible, although flawed. The drill didn't penetrate the copper in the hulls. However the explosive device inside the barrel did explode, after being set loose by the Turtle in the East River. It would have most likely sunk the ship if the barrel with the explosive was attached to the ship's hull. While the attempt was a failure, we are still discussing the attempt with interest 240 years later...
Lol this is so funny Imagine spending years coming up with this idea, making it and actually using it only to realise you can't drill through the ship. Big L

It's truly an amazing and exciting story.
@@K-Riz314 I made 3D animation about it. ua-cam.com/video/YwcifKI3zGA/v-deo.html
This is just incorrect
@@gmailalt6928 🤓
With Isis's budget, this is probably what their submarines are like
More like a guy weighed down by rocks with a piece of dynamite stuck up his ass while breathing thru a bamboo tube. thats more there budget
Jay Blake, a short lived terrorist state, yes
They were created by Zionists to fulfill their objectives as in the past in Christianity crusaders were created by them to fulfill their objectives.
@@muneerkhan8127 you need a nap mate
The submarine is the perfect weapon for war in a desert
the best fact is it doesnt use electricity or whatever
Uses nothing and does nothing 😂
Wow Metal hulls in the 1700s that is wild, I had no idea.
Always thought of them appearing in the 1800s with steam engine boats
They were sheathed with a thin sheet of copper to keep out shipworms, but he probably hit an iron plate that was part of the rudder mechanism.

Too bad that dude never thought of a fuckin magnet
ship was mostly wood and copper. Non-magnetic.
fuckin magnets how do they work?
I wouldnt trust my pet rock in that thing.
Pet rock can not operate a submarine or anything else.

@@hydrolito a real (sea) turtle is safer.
You could name him 'weight'.
The Turtle! This makes me miss Nathaniel Sackett.
The Titanic Secret (Clive Cussler) brought me here. I was shocked to learn they actually had a submarine back during Revolutionary War.

weird flex but ok
Yeah through my mothers mothers brothers sisters uncles sisters babies brothers.
Stop it; You mean your grandmother
Is it just me or when they show the propeller rotating at 1:19 is it going the wrong way
DALLAS JOE thanks! Glad someone else saw it lol
Oh yeah it is
There is few more mistakes in this animation. The propellers has wrong shape. The hull shape is wrong.
It’s actually going the right way. The propeller was designed to pull the sub through the water not push it
@@TacticalNuke321 Yes, you are right.
Bushnell should have used detachable tempered drill bit
Good point, what a rookie mistake
@@timc4765 Should have gave him a DeWalt
The best sub in the world is "Sky Diver" . Second to that is the "Sea View" .
What about Stingray ??
Did they have limpet charges at the time?
Seems like having this thing take a swimmer out who could dive to the edge or underside of the ship and plant the explosives would’ve been a little more effective, and much safer.
yeah until someone sees you and you get shot
That would beat the purpose of the submarine since the swimmer would be above water, and he'd probably be killed by musket fire.
It wouldn't be as funny, though.
Dude if they let the British copy it, propellers could’ve been invented earlier
I believe there was no tank, the ballast water was pumped into the sub, and the operator would get wet!
Oh, there was a ballast tank. Although the Turtle is crude by today's standards, it was commissioned by George Washington himself...
Architect İbrahim Efendi,
the first submarine in the world
by the name 'Tahtelbahir' in 1719
Was it used in combat
@@mynamejeff8401
Yes it was used to sink your mother in the dead sea.
Not used in combat. Turtle was

Wrong. The first submarine is a sandwich made of a long roll typically filled with meat, cheese, and vegetables such as lettuce, tomato, and onions.
It can only go in one axis?
2 if you count the ballast getting filled and emptied up and down
the first sub that can sink a ship i THINK was by the souther army didnt work to good but it sunk a ship you should look it up
he screwed up screwing that thing up. lol
I would not want to be the guy who had to test this thing
This is the best
Nice 😉 I want ti get in that thing
the first submarine is made by a dutch inventor ''Cornelis Dribbel''
Title was first submarine used in combat so not same as first submarine period.
He tried drilling it lol
If only he had a drill.
very cool
We had submarines before oil lamps...
Lol yep. Pretty crazy
We also had lighters before matches
Imagine if they didnt use metal
I've actually seen that thing!
1:55 ty rap invented
you have to give him credit for ingenuity and daring
🔥
👍
When they found out the hall was made of metal they should have used magnetic bomb
i wonder how many people have died in this lmao
freshwaterfish none
why you think so? it looks really unsafe and dangerous... it's very primitive
freshwaterfish It was only used once.
Too bad it will take the pilot 1 year to destroy a ship with that hand cranking drill

I thought the Turtle was blown up to prevent capture?
yep, the guy is just a typical british liar.
It’s a deadly can of beans
The music not clear cuz the voice to loud to hear😅
how about ramp the boat but he must escape?
Is that a reproduction? or did they cut the front off the real thing?
Looks like a reproduction that's been weathered. I don't think they would cut into the real thing.
Sirduke ofyork That\s what i was hoping
Captain America
Is this the real thing, or is it a replica?
It's a replica. The original was lost to time. Some think it might've been destroyed to prevent others from copying it and using it in war.
WHERE IS HL HUNLEY
I live here
Holy god damn mother fucking sheep shit balls of fire...
Talk about claustrophobia.
The Hunley of the confederacy was the firsf successful one.
Successful is a bit of a stretch. It killed 15 of its own operators, and only five enemies.
I couldn't understand its language
Lol this is so funny
