It appears the submarine pioneer was a teenager before he learned English.<\/p>\n<p>Ireland had suffered under British rule for centuries.<\/p>\n<p>Holland&#8217;s father reportedly died when the future inventor was a young boy. He was just four years old when famine struck Ireland. Millions of Irish died or fled overseas.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Holland was stricken with poor eyesight due to malnourishment, according to the Ancient Order of Hibernians.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He was, by all accounts, an Irish patriot.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As a youth, he considered the use of the submarine to further the cause of Irish Independence,&#8221; reports the U.S. Navy&#8217;s Naval History and Heritage Command.<\/p>\n<p>Holland attended Christian Brothers School in Limerick and later became a mathematics and music teacher at the Christian Brothers convent in Drogheda, Co. Louth, north of Dublin.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was during his residence at Christian Brothers that he designed the submersible mechanical duck,&#8221; according to the website of Scholars Townhouse Hotel, located in Holland&#8217;s former convent.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/lifestyle\/meet-american-who-won-war-us-andrew-jackson-higgins-wwii-new-orleans-boatbuilder\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><u>MEET THE AMERICAN WHO \u2018WON THE WAR FOR US&#8217;: ANDREW JACKSON HIGGINS, WORLD WAR II NEW ORLEANS BOATBUILDER<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The duck &#8220;could walk around the garden, swim, dive underwater and then resurface.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The source of Holland&#8217;s mechanical aptitude remains unknown even to biographer Goldstone.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What is certain is that Holland grew up in an era bursting with innovation and filled with stories of underseas adventure.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Connecticut colonist David Bushnell built the Turtle, a primitive one-man submersible, in 1775; it was used unsuccessfully to attack the HMS Eagle in New York Harbor in 1776.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Submarine warfare gained international attention again during the American Civil War.
