The Nautilus from the Disney film has a saw toothed dorsal ridge stretching from the base of the ram to the to the roof of a (non retractable) pilot house. It’s not in the book, but it is visually impressive and makes quite a bit of sense. Instead of piercing a hull, the ridge cuts the hull like a saw, and probably delivers less shock to the crew.
#CAPTAIN NEMO MOVIE#
The movie Nautilus has always been shown as much wider and heavier than the vessel described by Verne. The Nautilus used in the classic Disney film would probably displace close to 4,000 tons if it’s the length described by Mr. The Victoria has unfortunately been wrecked, but it is likely Nemo will have it repaired due to its sentimental value. The second Nautilus has been depicted as storing a large bric a brac of Vernian items – from amusing souvenirs to the Victoria, the balloon in which the reputed doctor Ferguson spent five weeks of well-known adventure. In addition to the tentacles, the Nautilus has a least one powerful retractable cannon equivalent to a naval artillery piece (seen in the second series). A rather large port in the bow of the Nautilus might imply a larger cannon or more likely a torpedo launcher. The enlarged eyes of the octopus’s “head” are the viewing ports of the pilot box, which is no longer retractable but is more heavily armoured. The tentacles of the octopus extend forward laterally along the front half of the Nautilus and are more than just decorative. They can be used to manipulate objects in the manner of a living octopus.
It has been described by an observant fellow as “an ornate wonder of the steampunk age”. The redesigned Nautilus looks like a streamlined steam engine train with a gigantic mechanized octopus mounted on the rear half. Observed dimensions are about 450 ft long, 130 ft high and 60 ft wide. Sufficient armor to bounce a nine pound cannonball shot and ram other ships without suffering damage. Ballast tanks are emptied via water cannons, which can be used much as they are today during civil commotion. Can submerge up to five miles depth for brief periods and stay under for 72 hours using reserves tanks. Dimensions are given as 232 ft long, 25 ft wide and 15000 tons, with a simple cigar shape and a small crew (20 persons ?). There are three protuberances at the front allowing for ramming manoeuvres, and a dorsal mounted searchlight and pilot box, both of which are retractable into the hull for speed and ramming. Once the pilot box is retracted, the Nautilus can only rely on her Sonar.
