Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] submarines History

[Steven Mills <cirtemoeg@juno.com>]

Hi Juergen,

The name "Moturiol" and "Ictineos" sounded familiar. I found the ref and
pics
in my Civil War history file. Also, a reference to Verne.

What area of biology are you in?  Marine biology?

Hopefully you'll do less lurking and more participating?  : )

thanks, Steve
