While there were submarines in existence when the book was written, they were primitive affairs and it took a feat of imagination for the writer to produce his vision of what an underwater craft would look like in the future.

In particular, the description of the Nautilus is rather prophetic and a fitting description for modern submarines. This great adventure story is notable for being more scientifically accurate than some of Verne's other novels. The American government sponsors the mission. In the story, Captain Nemo pilots his vessel, the Nautilus, on an adventure in search of a sea monster that was sighted by a number of ships in 1866.
