A story of aerial and submarine peril and adventure, originally published in 1887 - adventures in the air and under the water of Professor Heinrich von Schalckenberg's airship/submarine built from the super-light metal (aethereum) he has discovered. Aetherum is a very light metal that looks like polished silver and has one hundred times the strength of the best steel. This is used to build the Flying Fish, a 600 foot long metal cylinder, sixty feet in diameter at the middle, which travels 120 miles-per-hour through the air and 150 miles-per-hour underwater. This volume is a sequel to The Log of the Flying Fish. Harry Collingwood was the pseudonym of William Joseph Cosens Lancaster (1851-1922), a civil engineer who specialized in seas and harbors. "Atop Everest - to North Pole and darkest Africa. Wonderful discoveries - mammoths and unicorns and unknown tribes." - Leon Gammell "The Flying Fish, that marvellous achievement of science, actually surpasses all Jules Verne's creations; with incredible speed she flies through the air, skims over the surface of the water, and darts along the ocean bed. We strongly recommend our schoolboy friends to possess themselves of her log." - Athenaeum No library descriptions found. |
