Theme day: wood
Today is CDP theme day, with the theme: wood.
This is replica of the submarine Ictineo 1, launched in the port of Barcelona on September 23rd, 1859.
More info here.
How cool! It's hard to believe they could go deep inside the sea with this submarine,looks small! Anyway I know nothing about submarines, so that...forget what I wrote here... :) Léia
What a beautiful object! The wood seems to glow - many hands have rubbed over its surface, it seems. Also interesting history, I never knew people were trying to make submarines that long ago.
Well I found this rather facinating as well as as being a fine piece of craftmenship. So it was made for coral divers! What a terrific submission and story-
Mine is up..whew! I guess I'm also pending. Anyway, Aloha-
What else could one use better to get into contact with another "material of life" than wood. Either within or around, guess that wood does make our lifes worth while and even adventures many a times. Please have you all a wonderful Tuesday.
Wow. You would have to be an adventurous person to climb in that submarine no matter how well built it is. I like it as a creation in wood that would be way beyond anything I could hope to do.

woah, that's pretty interesting!
we all live in a wooden submarine...
PERFECT post for Theme Day. Never seen as interesting a wooden strucutre.
This looks just like something out of a Verne novel! Great catch!
How incredible and what a fab choice for today. it's something you feel you want to touch.
Absolutely amazing and equally gorgeous! A great choice for theme day, Rob!
What an unusual submission for the theme. It's an excellent shot and a fascinating piece of nautical history.
How cool!

Wow, this is a very interesting photo. I never thought of submarines ever being made of wood.
Wow what a great Theme Day picture!

Diving in this would require a very brave soul. There must be a good story about this.
Great photo and perspective, and wonderful theme photo! Interesting history,
How neat is that?! Did it work back in 1859? I wonder if it would work today!
