Légende

'The French Submarine Boat, The Gustave Zédé', c1900. '...named after its constructor...Propelled by electricity, this craft steamed 50 miles in a strong wind and heavy sea between Toulon and Marseilles...in calmer seas she travelled under water and discharged torpedoes...the chief drawback of the Gustave Zédé lay in her being blind under water, and owing to her narrow range of action she could only operate in defence of the coast'. From "Cassell's History of England, Vol. IX". [Cassell and Company, Limited, London, Paris, New York & Melbourne]
