A steampunk submarine?

By acflory

I love all things tech, even weird tech, and the star of Candy Korman’s post today is perhaps the weirdest I’ve ever come across.

‘The Duikboot model was based on the innovative design for a submarine by Antoine Lipkens and built of copper, brass, iron, lead glass and rope by Olke Uhlembeck in 1835/40.’

The steampunk submarine was never built – for obvious reasons – but just the thought of it makes me smile. There’s a picture of it on Candy’s blog and I strongly suggest reading the whole thing:

I hope this makes you smile too. Cheers,

On bad days I go out and dig big holes... View all posts by acflory

You certainly made me smile!
I hope everyone enjoys the steampunk submarine blog post as much as I enjoyed my initial encounter at the Rijksmuseum.
