In this book, Lake recounts his early years growing up in New Jersey, his fascination with machinery and engineering, and his early attempts at building submarines. He goes on to describe his many successes and failures in the field of submarine design, including his work on the Argonaut, the Protector, and the Explorer, among others. Lake also discusses his involvement in various important events of his time, such as the Spanish-American War and World War I, during which he played a crucial role in the development of submarine technology. Throughout the book, Lake provides detailed technical descriptions of his inventions and the challenges he faced in bringing them to fruition.
