Nautilus The Nautilus is the fictional submarine featured in Jules Verne’s novels: “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea” (1870) and “The Mysterious Island” (1874). It is designed and commanded by Captain Nemo. Electricity provided by sodium/mercury batteries (with the sodium provided by extraction from seawater) is the craft’s primary power source for propulsion and other services. The Nautilus uses floodable tanks in order to adjust buoyancy and so control its depth. The pumps that evacuate these tanks of water are so powerful that they produce large jets of water when the vessel emerges rapidly from the surface of the water. This leads many early observers of the Nautilus to believe that the vessel is some species of whale, or perhaps a sea monster not yet known to science. The Nautilus supports a crew that gathers and farms food from the sea. The Nautilus is able to refresh its air supply, but Captain Nemo prefers to do it by surfacing and exchanging stale air for fresh, much like a whale. Its parts are built to order in France, the United Kingdom, Prussia, Sweden, the United States and elsewhere. Then they are assembled by Nemo’s men on a deserted island. After Nemo dies on board, the volcanic island erupts, entombing the Captain and the Nautilus for eternity.
