William bourne is a English mathmetician who invented the submarine and was born at 1535 till 1582.
just for curiosity
He was hired by the Enlish Royal Navy in part to build the submarine, but primarily to build explosive devices for use against other ships. The English never took his submarine seriously as a combat weapon. Drebbel built the submarine using the 1578 plans of English mathematician William Bourne.
William Bourne never constructed a submarine; though he is credited by historians with inventing it, his claim to fame in the submarine world is that he was the first to draw a publish a design (1578) from which Cornelius Jacobszoon Drebbel built the first navigable submarine (1620).
Credit for the creation of the submarine goes to William Bourne, a British mathematician and former Navy gunner. He published his design for it in 1578.
The first navigable submarine was built by Cornelius Drebbel in 1620 using the 1578 plans of English mathematician William Bourne.
Cornelius Drebbel built the first workable submarine in 1620 using the 1578 plans of English mathematician William Bourne. The frame was constructed of wood, and is was wrapped with waterproof leather. Credit for its invention is given to Bourne.
Cornelius Drebbel did not actually invent the submarine. He was the first person to manufacture a workable submarine, but he used the 1578 plans of English mathematician William Bourne. Drebbel built his submarine using a wooden frame tightly wrapped with waterproof leather.Cornelius Drebbel did not actually invent the submarine. He was the first person to manufacture a workable submarine, but he used the 1578 plans of English mathematician William Bourne. Drebbel built his submarine using a wooden frame tightly wrapped with waterproof leather.
Credit for the invention of the submarine is sometimes given to William Bourne, a British mathematician and ex-Royal Navy gunner, who published a design in 1578.

In 1620 a navigable submarine was built by Dutch inventor Cornelius Drebbel (who was in the employ of James I of England) from a design published in 1578 by English mathematician William Bourne.
