AN UNUSUAL WORKMANS STUDY OF ICTINEO II. 78 cm x 27 cm. Note: The Ictíneo II was the first air independent and combustion powered submarine. It made her maiden voyage under human power on 20 May 1865, submerging to 27.5 metres (90 ft). After reading about the American Civil War and the attempts at submarine construction such as the CSS Hunley, the financially desperate Monturiol wrote to the US Secretary of the Navy; however, the Civil War had ended by the time the Secretary responded.
