Seeteufel was a hand-powered submarine designed by Wilhelm Bauer in 1856. Run by a crew of 15, the ship was made of iron and was 51 feet (16 m) long, 12.5 feet (3.8 m) wide and 11 feet (3.4 m) deep. After his last submarine, Brandtaucher had sunk, Bauer included a diver's chamber in the design. Through this chamber, which worked like an airlock, divers could leave and enter the submerged vessel. He had tried to obtain support for his invention in several countries, including the Austria-Hungary, the British Empire or France.
