Submarine

Find out all about how submarines work, as well as what life on board is like, in this unique and exciting guide to submarines.
Fabulous full-colour photographs and informative text combine to tell the fascinating story of how we developed underwater vessels.

See how underwater vessels were developed, Simon Lake’s wheeled submarines, how a wartime crew used to know whether it was day or night and a submersible investigating the wreck of the Titanic.
Learn what a submariner’s daily life is like,
how a submarine tracks its own position and avoids hitting underwater obstacles, about equipment designed to rescue submariners trapped on the sea floor. Discover where tourists ride in submarines for fun, how a 16th-century submarine functioned what an AUV can do, what we may find in the vast, unexplored regions of the ocean
and much, much more
