Villeroi Documents

This document is the report from the June 7 -29, 1863, deliberation of the Commission appointed by the Emperor of France to evaluate Brutus de Villeroi’s invention. The Commission deemed de Villeroi’s proposal poorly researched and concluded that the submarine design proposal was not innovative. The Commission judged the proposal to lack engineering and design explanations. In addition, the Commission noted that while Brutus de Villeroi had referred to additional reports and articles written on his previous submarine designs, those documents were not included for review and evaluation. Finally, the Commission noted that since the French Navy was already waiting for the results from another submarine design, “Le Plongeur”; and, thusly, the Commission recommended rejecting Brutus de Villeroi’s design.
