The origin of Jules Verne's Nautilus has to be tracked back to the end
of the 18th Century, when Robert Fulton, the British inventor,
demonstrated in Paris, in the Seine river, a submarine called "The
Nautilus". The French governement was present. It was the
"Directoire", the governement linking the French Revolution to the
French Empire.
