It was generally considered that the Holland 1 could submerge to a depth of 100ft (30m) but modern tests have concluded that this would have been potentially fatal, and that half this depth would have been much more realistic.

 John Holland Father of the Modern Submarine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
John Holland was born in February 1841 – most likely on the 24th – in the small village of Liscannor in County Clare on the west coast of Ireland.
In school, Holland distinguished himself particularly in the physical sciences and contemplated a career at sea, but his poor eyesight and the necessity of helping to support the family after his father’s death – early in the Limerick years – diverted him to a teaching career with the Order of the Irish Christian Brothers.
During his early teaching career, Holland became interested in the problems of both flight and submarine navigation, and in the latter area, he prepared a preliminary concept for a one-man submersible, which allegedly he was able to test as a clockwork-driven model.
