Stepan Karlovich Dzhevetsky (1843-1938), participant of Russo-Turkish war, awarded for bravery by the Cross of St. George, came to the conclusion that the most effective facility of fighting with the surface combat ships was an underwater boat. In 1877, a single-seated U-boat was constructed at the Odessa Blanchaire's plant according to Dzhevetsky's project and on his own means. It was the inventor himself who tested the U-boat during five months in 1878 in Odessa. Dzhevetsky almost perished during an accident. The second U-boat was constructed in 1879 at the Nevsky plant in St. Petersburg. After a spectacular demonstration of his underwater boat to Emperor Alexander III and Empress Maria Fedorovna on Silver lake in Gatchina, Dzhevetsky received the order for manufacturing 50 underwater boats of the third variant intended to defend seaside fortresses. In 1881, 50 U-boats were manufactured. One was left to Dzhevetsky for further improvement. Now this U-boat can be seen in the Central Naval Museum in St. Petersburg. Unfortunately, it is empty inside - no mechanism is preserved.
