NAUTILUS submarine model
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea

Nautilus submarine is the fictional submarine belonging to Captain Nemo featured in Jules Verne's novels Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas (1870) and The Mysterious Island (1875).

The Nautilus submarine was described as "a masterpiece containing masterpieces." Electricity provided by batteries (with the sodium provided by extraction from seawater) was the primary power source for propulsion. The Nautilus submarine used floodable tanks in order to adjust buoyancy and so control its depth. The pumps that evacuate these tanks of water were so powerful that they produced large jets of water when the submarine emerged rapidly from the surface of the water. This led many early observers of the Nautilus submarine model to believe that the submarine was some species of whale, or perhaps a sea monster not yet known to science.

Much of the Nautilus submarine was decorated to standards of luxury that were unequalled in a seagoing vessel of the time. These included a library with boxed collections of valuable oceanic specimens that were unknown to science at the time, expensive paintings, and several collections of jewels. The Nautilus submarine also featured a lavish dining room and even an organ that Captain Nemo used to entertain himself in the evening.

This primarily wood Nautilus submarine model is scratch built by hand. It has a prized plank-on-frame construction. The model can light up by a standard battery. The model contains no resin which is evidence of undesirable mast-produced mold casting.
