David Bushnell sat on the bank of the Connecticut River. He kept scanning the water for signs of life.
At first there was nothing. Suddenly two curved metal pipes rose out of the water.
David smiled. The pipes came toward him slowly.
A moment later a large round tube appeared under the pipes. The top of the tube flipped open. Out popped a young man's head.
"I think it's going to work," the man said.
"How does she handle," David asked.
"She's very slow," came the answer. "I would hate to use her in a storm. She tends to wobble back and forth a bit."
"So she moves like a Turtle?" David asked.
"Yep," the man said with a smile. This was their own little joke. The men called the thing in the water the American Turtle.
It was not a Turtle at all. It was a submarine. It was the first one that had ever been built in America.
