Inteligentná veľrybaExperimentálna ručne kľukatá ponorka bola postavená na dizajne Scovel Sturgis Merriam v roku 1863 Augustusom Priceom a Corneliusom Scrantonom Bushnellom. V roku 1864 bola založená Americká podmorská spoločnosť, ktorá prevzala záujmy Bushnella a Pricea a nasledovali roky súdnych sporov o vlastníctvo plavidla. Keď bol titul založený súdom, ponorka bola predaná 29. októbra 1869 na základe zmluvy, ktorú uzavreli majiteľ Oliver Halstead a tajomník námorníctva George M. Robeson ministerstvu námorníctva Spojených štátov, pričom väčšina ceny sa mala zaplatiť po úspešných súdnych procesoch. V septembri 1872 sa uskutočnil prvý proces a bol neúspešný, a preto ministerstvo odmietlo ďalšie platby a projekt opustilo.

Intelligent Whale was a submarine designed by Oliver Halstead in the 1860s. It was intended to be used by the Union Navy during the American Civil War, but it was never completed or tested. The submarine had a wooden hull covered with iron plates, and was powered by a steam engine that drove a propeller. It had a conning tower with portholes and a hatch, and a ballast tank that could be filled or emptied by pumps. The submarine also had a torpedo tube that could launch a spar torpedo, a weapon that consisted of an explosive charge attached to a long pole. The submarine was 28 feet long, 10 feet wide, and 12 feet high, and could carry a crew of four.
The submarine was built in Newark, New Jersey, by Augustus Price and Cornelius Scranton Bushnell. However, the project faced many delays and difficulties, such as the lack of funds, the interference of the government, and the skepticism of the public. The submarine was launched in 1866, but it never left the dock. It was sold to P.T. Barnum, who exhibited it as a curiosity in his museum. In 1869, the submarine sank in the East River during a storm, and was later salvaged and scrapped.
