Fox News
Meet the American who is "the father of the modern submarine." The first U.S. and British submarines, the USS Holland and HMS Holland, were the designs of John Philip Holland.
"He was a brilliant and instinctive engineer." "He considered the use of the submarine to further the cause of Irish Independence." "He frightened fishermen and small boating parties on Long Island Sound by sudden appearances from beneath the waves." "Holland had an awareness that he needed a business partner … he was unaware of how ruthless Rice could be." "For 61 years, he lay in an unmarked grave until public attention was focused on the historical oversight." Kerry J. Byrne is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
He succeeded in remaking maritime history despite no formal mechanical, engineering or military training.
"He was a brilliant and instinctive engineer," Holland biographer Lawrence Goldstone told Fox News Digital.
