EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Monge submarine, a pioneering underwater vessel in the French Navy fleet around the turn of the 20th century, circa 1905. At the time, most French submarines were steam-driven, as evidenced by the plume of smoke emanating from the chimney. However, this submarine was also equipped with electric motors, making it uniquely capable of underwater propulsion. The Monge submarine, named after the French mathematician Gaspard Monge, was a significant advancement in naval technology. Its innovative design allowed it to operate both on the surface with steam engines and underwater using electric motors, providing the navy with a versatile and powerful underwater weapon. This photograph offers a glimpse into the early days of submarine warfare, a time when these vessels were still largely experimental and shrouded in mystery. The Monge submarine represented the cutting edge of technology and military innovation, paving the way for the development of more advanced and capable submarines in the years to come. Despite the advancements in technology, the Monge submarine was eventually phased out of service by 1914, as newer and more advanced submarines were developed to meet the evolving needs of the French Navy. Nevertheless, this photograph serves as a reminder of the important role that the Monge submarine played in the history of underwater warfare and the ongoing quest for naval dominance.
