Isaac Peral Submarine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Isaac Peral (Cartagena, June 1, 1851 – May 22, 1895, Berlin),, was a Spanish scientist, sailor and inventor of the Peral Submarine (built 1884, launched 1888). Intended for military use, this submarine pioneered new designs in the hull, control systems and air systems, proving a success in two years of trials. Its ability to fire torpedoes under water while maintaining full propulsive power and control has led some to call it the first U-boat.
There is a street in the Moncloa/Universitario section of Madrid named after Peral, as well as one in Rota (calle Ysaac Peral).
