Simon Lake was a productive engineer (with over 200 patents to his name) and played an important role in early submersibles. He competed with John Philip Holland for early military submarine contracts in the United States. He eventually founded the Lake Torpedo Boat company out of Bridgeport, Connecticut which did successfully supply the US Navy with submarines. While not a household name, Lake contributed greatly to the introduction of the submarine as a primary tool in the US Navy's arsenal.
