Nautilus

of 1951. 18 months of construction the NAUTILUS was finally launched on January 21, 1954. September 30, 1954 the NAUTILUS became the first commissioned nuclear powered ship in the United States Navy. On the morning of January 17, 1955 the first Commanding Officer, Commander Eugene P. Wilkinson, ordered all lines to cast off and signal the memorable and historic message, "Underway On Nuclear Power." Over the next several years, NAUTILUS shattered all submerged speed and distance records. On July 23, 1958, NAUTILUS departed Pearl Harbor to conduct "Operation Sunshine", the first crossing of the North Pole by a ship. On August 3, 1958, the NAUTILUS had its second Commanding Officer, Commander William R. Anderson, announced to his crew, "For the world, our country, and the Navy - the North Pole." With 116 men aboard, NAUTILUS had accomplished the "impossible", reaching the North Pole. Over the next six years the NAUTILUS participated in several fleet exercises. The NAUTILUS covered over 200,000 miles. In 1966 the NAUTILUS again entered the record books when it covered…

20,000 Leagues Under The Sea One of the most important technology in the story was the Nautilus AKA the submarine used as the transportation for the crew in the story and harpoons to attack the monster and kill it. Captain Nemo is the one leading the crew and does not like war but still kills many monsters with the harpoon. Deep sea exploration was possible during the time period talked about in the story submarines were used for underwater exploration but there was no mythical creatures such…

Prison Vs. Freedom During class discussions, the idea of freedom vs. prison has been brought up multiple times with regard to Professor Aronnax and his fellow companions whilst on board the Nautilus. While on a hunt for the evasive “giant narwhal,” the boat that Arronax, Counseil, and Ned Land were traveling on was struck by the Nautilus, sending all three men overboard. They are later taken into the vessel which struck them as “prisoners.” The Nautilus, which is a submarine captained by a…

Oppressed by Captain Nemo, Ned Land sought liberty. Although Nemo gave the illusion of freedom through mobility on the ship, he had the control. Unhappy living in the Nautilus, Ned Land was constantly fighting to be free. Throughout the entire novel, we see the only one making an honest effort to escape is Ned Land. Freedom is necessary to live a fulfilling life. During the initial capture, Ned Land was the most resistant. Both Aronnax and Conseil had showed little to no resistance.…

Soon after they board the Nautilus, they are attacked by a posse of squids, and watch as Captain Nemo mercilessly sinks another ship. Ned, Conseil, and the Professor are horrified by how the Captain rammed the ship without batting an eyelash, and the trio begin to look for an escape. Not long after the ramming of the ship, the Nautilus is seeming to be set on a course for destruction, heading towards a maelstrom (a really powerful whirlpool in the sea/river). The Professor, Ned, and Conseil see…

The Separation 1. Call to Adventure- Marlin is a clown fish with a son named Nemo. Marlin constantly warns Nemo not to venture into the open sea because it is very dangerous. On Nemo’s first day of school, he was dared to go out to the open sea and “touch the butt” of the ship that was in the distance and then swim back. Before he was able to swim back, Nemo was scooped up by a scuba driver that would then bring him to a dentist office and Nemo would be put into a fish tank. 2. Refusal of the…

Use the Nautilus as an example of how scientific technology can be both good and bad. Cite modern day examples as well, such as stem cell research or nuclear technology. Should there be regulations to curb what scientists study and how they apply their discoveries to everyday life? There are many, many different types of scientific technologies; and not all of them can be good. To contradict, not all scientific technologies can be bad. In actuality, most of them are good, but can also be bad.…

Have you ever looked over a fence, around a corner or peeked into your backyard from your window? Have you ever made believe that you were Captain Nemo on his submarine "The Nautilus"? It was fun when I was young. The wonders of childhood I shared by making a periscope for my children many years ago and they enjoyed it too. Access to better materials has allowed for improvements and better durability. My grandchildren now have use of the new model. Start by purchasing or finding the following…

a wrong turn and the scientist along with two of his companions turn into guest ‘prisoners’ of the nautilus captained by Captain Nemo. M. Aronnax has many different problems throughout the book, and learns to help himself through the book. Captain Nemo is the Captain of the Nautilus, and really knows how to live. He is the richest man alive, but less than ten people even know he’s alive. He is what is actually brought down all those ships that were thought to be destroyed by a large narwhal.…

T.S. Eliot’s “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” and Lowell’s “The Chambered Nautilus” have a recurring theme revolving around time, time passing or suddenly fleeting away without any sense of remorse or warning. In “The Chambered Nautilus” from the first stanza starts a beginning of life, a new embarking ship discovering adventures. “Where the cold sea-maids rise to sun their streaming hair,” is a quote at the end of the first stanza that foreshadows the heavens, an allusion to how everything…
