		Although John P. Holland's submarine was the first to be accepted by the Navy, it was the noted Milford inventor, the late Simon Lake, who incorporated such refinements as the double hull and even-keel diving which are features now in practically every submarine in the world.
		The Holland, Reader said, had a single hull "with plenty of patches in it." Depth gauges and periscopes were still to be invented and the submariners had no idea of the depth when they dove.
		The Holland's longest run under her own power was from Annapolis to Washington, D.C., a distance of 145 knots which she crawled in 25 hours, 36 minutes, said Reader, at an average speed of 5.67 knots.
