Review translated by google translator online...

Narcis Monturiol (1818-1885), AMPURDANES republican and socialist,
inventor of the archetype of the nineteenth century, was man of life -
and work - intense, innovative, diverse and idealistic. More political
scientist and journalist, had to cope with the many technical problems
that it posed the Ictíneo or "boat-fish", his most revolutionary
project, which for various avatars could not see done for good. This
"ship to navigate under water" built with wood coated copper was
striking for its simplicity, safety and maneuverability. It could have
given a twist to the navy of our country but was unsuccessful by
causes short-term beyond its two prototypes (1859 and 1864), tested
with great success. Its technical characteristics, based on intensive
analysis and observation, reflected faithfully in this posthumous
book. The first edition was paid for by popular subscription and
appeared to six years of his death in 1919 a version was published in
Catalan. The reading, today, this memorable "test", brings to light
the true pioneer in our midst of the underwater navigation, unjustly
forgotten.
