LET´S MAKE A STORY TOGETHER!
SPAIN HAS CHOSEN ISAAC PERAL AS MAIN CHARACTER. BUT WHO WAS THIS PERSON?
Isaac Peral y Caballero was born in our home city Cartagena. He was a Spanish engineer, naval officer and designer of the Peral Submarine. He joined the Spanish navy in 1866, and developed the first electric-powered submarine which was launched in 1888.
The Peral submarine was the first practical submarine ever made. It was launched on September 8, 1888, and subsequently in a test with naval authorities it successfully made a simulated attack on a cruiser at night without being noticed and returned to port without any damage.
This submarine is displayed in our naval museum.
