The Totalimmersion exclusive Nautilus Submarine

46 years in the making!

A fantastic detailed model for the ultimate in Victorian Submarines.

Jules Vern's Submarine Nautilus as visualized by Harper Goff in the 1954 Disney film 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Based on circa 1868 technology.

This kit is based on the Goff visualization built by Tom Scherman Hollywood set designer and Lee Seiler Hydrodynamic model ship builder at the Department of Naval Architecture University of California Berkeley Model ship towing tank. A dream that spans nearly half a century of work and study has now become a reality.

Of the Disney version Nautilus kits available today, this one is unique in that it has been designed as if the Harper Goff submarine was a real operational vessel built in 1864. Every mechanical and structural part foud in actual Victorian era Submarines are found in this Kit. Over the years beginning when the 1954 Disney film was released the kit builders have researched Victorian engineering and marine Iron Clad construction practices of the 1860's. This kit, while being completely faithful to the original Goff design, also addresses the original Nautilus submarine described in Jules Vern's Novel 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and 1860's Victorian engineering practices.
