THE NAUTILUS "Riding low in the water and bristling with iron barbs, the Nautilus was a menace to navigation: in a collision with her, a wooden ship would suffer grievous damage. Certainly, the conservative observer would condemn the submarine as an infernal machine the civilized world could never tolerate in rebel hands. But if the Nautilus was built to stand down for no one, she was only as hard and unforgiving as the World had been to the men who built her."
"Jules Verne gave us 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea but never really explained who Captain Nemo and the Crew of the Nautilus were; let alone how or why they built the World's most advanced submarine and used it to wage war against some hated (yet undefined) nation. VULCANIUM (The Secret of Captain Nemo and the Nautilus) is the story of who they were; how and why they did what they did; and what adventures led up to that fateful encounter with the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln. The intent is to entertain and (hopefully) educate; so as to enhance the reader's enjoyment of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by adding dimension to the characters, events, and technologies portrayed therein."

Pat Regan & Ty Alley in League Gear
"This is Ty Alley, owner of the Aquala Sports Manufacturing Company diving the Nemosuit in Kahopo, Hawaii, September 2007.
Aquala is successor to Bel Aqua: maker of the rubber suits Disney used in '54.
Back around 1999-2000, Ty said if I ever wanted to make the diving apparatus, he'd make the drysuits. So we did. That's how manned, functional replicas of the Disney 20,000 Leagues diving apparatus came about." Pat Regan
