I live in Connecticut. We have the naval submarine museum in Groton,CT. They have the USS Nautilus there as floating museum exhibit. I've been on it a few times and it is really amazing.

It's named after Captain Nemo's submarine in Jules Verne's classic 1870 science fiction novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. One of my favorite books as a kid, must have read it scores of times 😊

The Nautilus is now a permanent exhibit at The Submarine Museum in Groton Connecticut. Visit the museum if you get the chance.

The Nautilus museum is just a few miles from where I live! Definitely something to see if you’re in Groton!
