Peter I received a petition from some Yefim Nikonov Prokopyevich , that is, working at the shipyard, claimed to be able to create a vessel that will be under water approach to the bottoms of enemy ships and shoot them out of cannons. Tsar of Russia, known as a fan of innovation, endorsed the idea. After some time, the model was created, capable of all that he had promised Nikonov, and in the middle of 1720 laid the first submarine in the world. Pompa and a pair of lead plates, with lots of tiny holes, were responsible for immersion and emersion. The guns he replaced the hole through which the diver had to go out (in costume, created by the same Nikonov) and pierce the bottom of a bowl of enemy. After 4 years of construction and reconstruction submarine was launched. Unfortunately, when she damaged the bottom of the descent and had to urgently pull together with the inventor. Peter I ordered to strengthen the body with iron hoops and provide the master of all necessary materials. Unfortunately, after the king’s death in 1725, funding for the project ceased. As a result Prokopyevich Yefim Nikonov was demoted and exiled to the far Admiralty as an ordinary worker. NOTIC: THE ITEM WILL POST FROM CHINA. Your action will help us offer our milk and bread.
