At random: Coronation ceremonies of Emperor Alexander II of Russia in 1855 were enlivened by a submarine concert. Wilhelm Bauer, a Bavarian inventor, took three musicians under the waters of Kronstadt Harbor in a submarine he had built, where they played appropriate music during the coronation. The music was distinctly heard on the surface.

It is amazing to look at these small boats with sailors manning the rails and compare them to the boats of today. In 1912 I doubt the admirals thought submarines would amount to much.

That Rondout Creek area, at Kingston, has some nice restaurants and tourist stuff today.
