... that the National Guard Militia Museum of New Jersey has on display the Intelligent Whale, an experimental Civil War-era submarine propelled by a hand crank operated by its four-man crew?

Intelligent Whale[edit]

The Intelligent Whale, an experimental hand-cranked submarine based on an 1863 design is on display.

This is what the article text says, but the photo caption says the submarine is in the Washington Navy Yard. Which place is correct?--DThomsen8 (talk) 12:20, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I assume the photo is old, and the museum accepted the boat when the Navy wanted the space. However, the picture is undated and the history unspecified. Jim.henderson (talk) 12:26, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
