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).
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.
The idea of a submarine has been around for many centuries; even Leonardo da Vinci had drawings of them. Historians credit the invention of the submarine to William Bourne, a British mathematician and ex-Royal Navy gunner who published a design in 1578. The first navigable submarine for which reliable construction data exists was built from Bourne's design in 1620 by Cornelius Jacobszoon Drebbel, a Dutch inventor in the employ of King James I of England.
The first diagram and plan for a submarine was published in 1580 CE by William Bourne. In 1623, Cornelius Drebbel was appointed as court inventor and created what is believed to be the first working submarine. In 1654, the Rotterdam boat submarine was invented with the intent to attack an enemy. In 1696, Denis Papin built two submarines with an internal air pump. In 1776, David Bushnell created the first submarine that attacked an enemy ship. In 1855, Wilhelm Bauer built the Diablo Marin which made 134 dives. In 1861 the U.S Navy commissioned the production of the Alligator submarine.
Yes, this was the submarine's first trip.
Wood was used to make the first submarine

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.
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.
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.

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.

The first navigable submarine was built in 1620 in England by Cornelius Drebbel using English mathematician William Bourne's plans from 1578. America (not the US back then) used the first submarine, built by American Colonist David Bushnell in 1776.
