Description

The Nautilus was described by Verne as "a masterpiece containing masterpieces." It was designed and commanded by Captain Nemo. Electricity provided by sodium/mercury batteries (with the sodium provided by extraction from seawater) was the craft's primary power source for propulsion and other services.

The Nautilus was double hulled, and was further separated into water-tight compartments. Its top speed was 50 knots. Its displacement was 1356.48 French freight tons immerged (1507 submerged). In Captain Nemo's own words: A knot is a unit of speed abbreviated kt or kn. ... For ton as a unit of mass, see ton The freight ton or measurement ton is a unit of volume used for describing ship capacities (tonnage) or cargo. ...

The Nautilus used floodable tanks in order to adjust buoyancy and so control its depth. The pumps that evacuate these tanks of water were so powerful that they produced large jets of water when the vessel emerged rapidly from the surface of the water. This led many early observers of the Nautilus to believe that the vessel was some species of whale, or perhaps a sea monster not yet known to science. When needed to submerge deeply in short time, Nautilus uses a technique called Hydroplaning which makes the vessel dive down in warped angles, as found from the talks of Captain Nemo. In physics, buoyancy is the upward force on an object produced by the surrounding fluid (i. ... A Fin Whale The term whale is ambiguous: it can refer to all cetaceans, to just the larger ones, or only to members of particular families within the order Cetacea. ... Hydroplaning and hydroplane have several meanings: With boats, planing or hydroplaning is a method by which a hull skims over the surface of the water, rather than plowing through it. ...

The Nautilus supported a crew who gathered or farmed food from the sea to eat. The Nautilus included a galley for preparing these foods, which included a machine that makes drinking water from seawater through distillation. The Nautilus was not able to refresh its air supply except by surfacing and exchanging stale air for fresh. The Nautilus was capable of extended voyages without refuelling or otherwise restocking supplies. Its maximum dive time was around five days. The galley is the compartment of a ship, submarine, train or aircraft where food is cooked and prepared. ...

Much of the ship was decorated to standards of luxury that were unequalled in a seagoing vessel of the time. These included a library with boxed collections of valuable oceanic specimens that were unknown to science at the time, expensive paintings, and several collections of jewels. The Nautilus also featured a lavish dining room and even an organ that Captain Nemo used to entertain himself in the evening. By comparison, Nemo's personal quarters were very sparsely furnished, but did feature duplicates of the bridge instruments, so that the captain could keep track of the vessel without being present on the bridge. These amenities however, were only available to Nemo, Professor Aronnax and his companions. Look up Luxury in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...

From her attacks on ships, using a ramming prow to puncture target vessels below the waterline, the world thought it a sea monster, but later identified it as an underwater vessel capable of great destructive power, after the Abraham Lincoln was attacked and Ned Land struck the metallic surface of the Nautilus with his harpoon.

In the graphic novel, the Nautilus has tentacles that rest along the sides, which can be used to grab objects (such as falling members of the League). In the film, the Nautilus lacks the tentacles, but is unfeasibly gigantic, has escape pods and is solar powered ("The solar panels are fully charged; we are about to dive"). Kevin O'Neill has confirmed that this is in fact intended to be a Nautilus II, built to replace the original of Verne's novels, which sank at the end of The Mysterious Island.

Other Verne submarines

Besides the Nautilus, other submarines figured in Verne books. In the 1896 the pirate Ker Karraje uses an un-named submarine that acts both as a tug to his schooner "Ebba", and for ramming and destroying ships which are the targets of his piracy. The same book also features HMS Sword, a small Royal Navy experimental submarine which is sunk after a valiant but unequal struggle with the pirate submarine. In the book Master of the World Robur's vehicle "The Terror" has a submarine mode, as well as it's automotive, and speedboat and aircraft modes, and briefly eludes naval forces on the great lakes by diving.
