Holland Boat #1 is the first experimental submarine built by Irish-born inventor and educator John P. Holland who emigrated to the United States in 1873, and took up residence in Paterson. He was encouraged to pursue his dream of perfecting the submarine by the exploits of the Confederate semi-submersible Hunley and the experiments with the Intelligent Whale in New York Harbor.
Holland is considered to be the "father of the modern submarine." This vessel is a prototype. He tested it on the nearby Passaic River. As the first power-driven diving submersible, it represented a significant milestone in the development of the submarine. Holland Boat #1 is currently on loan to the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum.
