William Bourne

William Bourne created an idea for an early submarine. His design, in 1578, was the first recorded plan for an underwater navigation vehicle. Bourne previously was a Royal Navy gunman. He designed an enclosed craft capable of submerging, and being rowed underwater. The ship would have had a wooden frame covered in waterproofed leather, but the idea was never made a reality.
