The Turtle was egg-shaped and carried only a one man crew. It was driven by two hand-cranked screw propellers, one for forward movement and the other for vertical movement. The Turtle had a complex system of valves, air vents, and ballast pumps to control submergence; these were made out of lead and kept the vehicle upright.
