The first submarine, known as the "Nautilus," was constructed in 1620 by Dutch inventor Cornelis Drebbel. It was made of wood and covered with leather, featuring an airtight design that allowed it to dive and surface on command. Drebbel's submarine was propelled by oars, rowed by crew members inside, and demonstrated the potential for underwater navigation.
