George William Littler Garrett (4 July 1852 - 26 February 1902) was a British clergyman and inventor who pioneered submarine design. He invented a diving suit in 1877, demonstrating it to the French government in the River Seine. An interest in the possible military application of what at the time were known as submarine boats prompted him to form the Garrett Submarine Navigation and Pneumataphore Company Limited and raise £10,000 through it from Manchester businessmen. (A pneumataphore was a device for removing carbon dioxide from the air). In 1878, he built a 14-foot (4.3 m) long hand-cranked submarine of about 4.5 tons, which he named the Resurgam. This was followed by the second (and more famous) Resurgam of 1879. It was 45 feet (14 m) long, displaced about 30 tons on the surface and 38 tons submerged and was powered by steam - the furnace and chimney being shut off before diving. The Resurgam was built by Cochran and Co in Birkenhead, Merseyside, Although the submarine was lost whilst under tow in 1880 on its way to trials in Portsmouth for the Royal Navy, it impressed the Swedish industrialist Thorsten Nordenfelt sufficiently to finance him. They built a submarine for Greece and two for Turkey. Resurgam (Latin: "I shall rise again") is the name given to two early Victorian submarines designed and built in Britain by Reverend George Garrett as a weapon to penetrate the chain netting placed around ship hulls to defend against attack by torpedo vessels. The Resurgam was the first 'practical' British submarine, and the first in the world to be mechanically powered when submerged. It was the invention of the Reverend George Garrett (1852-1902). The full story of Garrett's extraordinary life, rising from an obscure parish to a commission in the Ottoman Navy, only to die in poverty in New York, is told here for the first time. New research into Swedish, Turkish and American documents has revealed an almost unknown area of nineteenth-century naval and technological history, the strange world of pimp-turned-armaments-tycoon Basil Zaharoff and Thorsten Nordenfelt, whose submarines, designed by Garrett, survived fearsome accidents during the difficult birth of the modern submarine.
