In fact, the “Nautilus” submarine in that story never > had a periscope. Right, it had a small glass house protruding from the boat that the pilot used to see around. And could be pushed down somehow, when they intended to use the boat as a weapon. <https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vingt_Mille_Lieues_sous_les_mers> There are several illustrations at the end, but I have an edition with more, one of them shows that glass house. -- Cheers, Carlos.
