David Bushnell (1742-1824), American inventor, born in Saybrook, Connecticut, who in 1775 built the first military submarine. Called The Turtle, the one-passenger craft was a tarred, oaken sphere banded with iron and powered by hand-operated propellers and pumps. Attached outside was a gunpowder bomb with a time fuse. Bushnell failed, however, to blow up British ships during the American War of Independence.
