Stewart B. Nelson

Rediscovering the World’s First Arctic Submarine: Nautilus of 1931

In 1931, Australia-born adventurer Sir Hubert Wilkins took a decommissioned WW- I submarine, extensively modified for under-ice operation and christened the Nautilus, to the Arctic icepack. The Wilkins-Ellsworth Trans Arctic Submarine Expedition was marked by controversy from its inception and suspected sabotage by crew members forced the project to be abandoned and the submarine scuttled in a Bergen fjord in 1,138 feet (347 meters) of water. Dr. Nelson was co-leader and scientific advisor of Project Nautilus 2005, a submersible dive expedition that successfully re-discovered and documented the world’s first Arctic submarine. He will provide an illustrated breakfast presentation that recounts both Sir Hubert’s 1931 expedition and his re-discovery of the historic Nautilus.
