The boat is a magnificent work of art! And the photos really give you a sense of the space inside the boat like none I've seen. Most photos were taken to emphasize the cramped, dismal interior of the sardine can to play up the alien nature of the submarine sailor who would subject himself to such horrors.

So this is what the submariner saw! No wonder they loved their boats.
