Издание на английском языке
This publication is dedicated to the history of the Sub Marine Explorer and its creator, engineer Julius Krel, one of the pioneers of early submarine construction. The book explores the development of underwater technology in the 19th century, engineering rivalries, the inventor's military experience, pearl-diving projects in the Pacific Ocean, and the sub's fate in Panama. Particular attention is given to the archaeological study of the Sub Marine Explorer, its design, technical condition, and the potential for its preservation as a unique monument to maritime engineering history. Appendices supplement the main text with materials on the submarine's design, an archival report, and information about Julius Krel's personal belongings.
