Description

The ingenious folks of the Garden State were instrumental within the early development of the submarine. The primary American submarine sank off Fort Lee in 1776, and The primary successful one adopted by the U.S. Navy used to be invented by Paterson’s John Holland at the end of the nineteenth century. The ones early vessels were tested within the Passaic River and at the Jersey City waterfront. Lately, the one surviving Union Civil War submarine, built in Newark, sits within the National Guard Militia Museum in Sea Girt. In 1918, the technology pioneered there used to be turned against the Jersey Shore when U-151 went on a one-day ship-sinking rampage. A World War II U-boat offensive torpedoed a lot of ships off the coast, leaving oil-soaked beaches strewn with wreckage. Authors Joseph G. Bilby and Harry Ziegler reveal the remarkable history of submarines off the New Jersey coastline.
