- Abstract:
A biography of John Philip Holland, designer of the U.S. ship (USS) Holland, the first submarine to be officially accepted by the U.S. Navy in 1900, is presented. Holland was born to a father who served in the Coast Guard Service in County Clare, Ireland in 1841. He was part of the pro-Irish activist group Fenian Society, emigrated to Paterson, New Jersey in 1872 and married Margaret Foley. He became a drafter for a military equipment manufacturer and tried unsuccessfully to establish his own firm.
