Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] sub concept sketch

I'll second the others' comments - nice, handsome looking boat!  I've always thought the Protector had a stout, capable look and I think Patrick's sketch has the same feel.

(To really nail that Victorian look, how about a steam engine and boiler?!   :-))

Got your link and checked out the drawing Patrick. Your conning tower reminds me of  Simon Lake's first military design sub  "The Protector" that was sold to Russia back in 1902.
Compare them. Pic of he Protector is at this link  http://www.chinfo.navy.mil/navpalib/cno/n87/usw/issue_16/simonlake.html

Hi, Patrick - do you have a "shareable" sketch yet?

the sketch has no scale at the moment but it appears that it will yield a long and roomy cabin with ample room for me to maneuver and for necessary operational and life support equipment.
