Jules Verne, Father of Science

When a fierce sea monster attempted to sink merchant ships in 1865, the U.S. Navy sent a scientist and crew on a steamship to destroy it. But the monster had other ideas. It rammed the ship, tossing those on deck into the sea. They survived by clinging to the only thing they could–the back of the monster! The men soon discovered that the creature was actually a submarine named Nautilus . Its unusual design, speed, and strength were unlike any underwater vessels they'd ever seen. The submarine's evil captured the scientist and two crewmen and hauled them aboard. Then Nautilus dove deep into the ocean, deeper than any submarine had ever gone. The captives were about to endure something no human had ever experienced: underwater life on the ocean floor.

Where did this adventure happen? It took place in the imagination of author Jules Verne. In 1870, he wrote the story into a titled Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea . This would become a favorite for many readers. It was just one of many books Verne wrote about voyages he dreamed of when he was a child.

Sea Dreams Jules Verne was born February 8, 1828, in , . Growing up, he enjoyed going to his family's summer home. From there, he could see the docks, watch clipper ships and schooners, and pretend he was aboard. Often he and his younger brother Paul rented small boats and went sailing–close to shore, of course. But in his mind, Jules traveled the world in vessels not yet invented and explored places yet unknown.

The Road to Success Despite Jules' desire to become a writer, his father, a lawyer, sent his son to to study law. But even as a young man, Jules Verne continued to retreat to travels in his imagination. He completed his law studies but never worked as a lawyer. Instead, he remained in Paris and began writing plays and short stories. After he married a widow with two children, Verne joined his wife's brother working in a stockbroker's office. This job allowed him to support his family while also giving him time to write.

Verne enjoyed writing his plays and stories, but he yearned to write . What set him apart from other writers of his day was his obsession with travel to places never explored: the bottom of the ocean, the middle of the earth, and outer space! Although not a scientist, he read about all kinds of sciences and had many discussions with scientist friends. The knowledge he gleaned enabled him to picture worlds and technology that might become possible in the future. His first novel, , told adventures of people floating over Africa in a balloon. This type of voyage had never been undertaken when the book was released in 1863. Since that time, of course, balloonists have taken even longer trips over several continents.

A New Type of Fiction His first novel was so successful that Verne was able to leave his job and write full time. It took two years to transfer his futuristic undersea adventure from his imagination to paper. He didn't know that he was creating a new type of literature that would become a favorite of readers around the world: . He had no way of knowing that the futuristic technology he built into Nautilus , such as scuba gear and the ability to create an underwater habitat where humans could comfortably live surrounded by ocean creatures, would one day become reality. Up until his death in 1905, Verne had only one goal: to entertain readers everywhere with his fantastic travels.

A Trip to Inner Space: Jules' Undersea Lodge

You awake and sit up in bed. You feel uneasy. Someone or something is watching you. Then you see them. Dozens of fish of every color and species are peering at you through your window. No, you're not dreaming. You've just spent a night in Jules' Undersea Lodge, the world's first underwater hotel. It opened in 1986 in Key Largo, Florida.

Today there are many underwater hotels. But travel experts still consider Jules' Undersea Lodge to be one of the top five in the world.

Beginnings Jules' Undersea Lodge began as an undersea research lab off the coast of Puerto Rico. Scientist Ian Koblick designed it in the 1970s. At that time, underwater travel and habitats were mainly of interest to scientists. But soon, people around the world took an interest in ecology. They wondered if humans could live in other environments, such as under the sea or on the moon.

Koblick and another scientist, Dr. Neil Monney, had an idea. They wanted ordinary people to experience the wonders of life in the ocean. So they moved the undersea research lab to the Emerald Lagoon in Key Largo. Together, they remodeled the lab into an underwater hotel. They named it "Jules' Undersea Lodge" to honor French author Jules Verne. In 1863, his novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea foretold the type of undersea living that today is possible for humans.

Hotel on Stilts There's only one way to enter Jules' Undersea Lodge. Guests must scuba dive to the entrance! It is located twenty-one feet below the sea. That is about as deep as a two-story building. Hotel staff supplies the diving gear and accompanies guests to the lodge, carrying their suitcases in waterproof bags.

If you're among those guests, you'll line up on the lagoon floor beneath Jules' Undersea Lodge. It stands on five-foot stilts. Unlike walking into the Holiday Inn through a door, you will push up and enter through the "moon pool" entrance on the floor. The hotel is filled with compressed air, which is heavier than water. Therefore, the sea will remain outside and will not flood the inner space you have entered.

Jules' Undersea Lodge can only accommodate up to six people at a time. Near the entrance is a "wet room" where you can shed your scuba gear and take a shower. Then you're ready to go into one of the two bedrooms. Each has its own bathroom. Or perhaps you'd rather go first into the "common room." There you'll find a refrigerator and microwave oven. In another corner you can find a television and VCR/DVD player. The hotel staff provides snacks, or you can bring and cook your own food. If you'd rather not cook, arrange with the hotel to have a pizza delivered. A scuba diver delivery person brings it to you–in a waterproof box, of course!

Although you can stay in the hotel and watch the fish watching you, there are other things to do as well. Some of these are:

 scuba diving and exploring the underwater life of the Emerald Lagoon

 swimming to and visiting nearby MarineLab, an undersea research lab also designed and run by Koblick and Monney

 grabbing an underwater flashlight and going night diving

 bringing your underwater camera on a diving excursion and photographing those fish that have been spying on you  taking some of the courses offered by the hotel on undersea habitats and exploration

 learning basic and advanced scuba diving skills

People are begging for more hotels like Jules' Undersea Lodge. Developers around the world are planning for even bigger underwater habitats. "To live beneath the sea was once just the dream of science fiction writers," says Dr. Monney. "Now it is a reality. Here is a new step for mankind, the advent of undersea living, the taming of the last frontier on Earth... Inner Space."

Exemplar Part A Jules’ Undersea Lodge reflects some important ideas from the novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. In the novel, sailors are captured and taken onto a submarine, where they live deep under the ocean and experience many forms of undersea life. In the hotel, guests also experience life under the sea. The idea behind both (learning what it’s like to live under the sea) is the same.

Part B Guest experiences in the hotel would be similar to the sailor’s experiences. They watch fish and other sea creatures swim past windows just like the sailors on the submarine in the novel did, and they are unable to leave the environment without swimming through the ocean. They would rely on technology to provide them with air to breathe and to communicate with the world above the ocean surface. There would be differences, too. Guests at the lodge are just that—guests. They choose to be there and can leave whenever they want to. The sailors were captives on the submarine and were not allowed to leave, so the way they felt about their experience was probably very different because of that.

Both people in the lodge and submarine are to feel like this is something you've might of seen in an aquarium. The experiences of the guests are different because the people who go to the lodge come there because they want to. They also have freedom to go in and out as they please out of they lodge. In the book, the men who have boarded the sub were captured by force and cannot live unless they are allowed to. They try many escape plans, but all fail.

Jules' Undersea Lodge reflects the ideas in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the sea because both the book and the lodge explain inhabitants under the ocean. The evil captain from the Nautilus captured the scientist and two other crew members. In his submarine he drove them down to the ocean floor to life underwater("Jules Verne, Father of Science Fiction"). Now people can live under the sea. There is an underwater hotel in Emerald Lagoon that guests have to scuba dive to in order to get there. In the hotel you can enjoy life under the water("A Trip To Inner Space").

Part B

The characters in Jules novel Twenty Leagues Below the Sea and the guests of Jules' Undersea Lodge both experience life underwater. The guest at the Lodge have time to enjoy the fish and they are not held captive on a submarine. The guests also get the chance to swim with the fish and go on underwater tours. The guests in the lodge enjoy there underwater time better than the men on the submarine.

Part A

In Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea Jules Verne talked about technology that seemed impossible at the time. He also explained a habitat humans could survive and thrive in underwater. In Jules' Undersea Lodge all of these things are possible. Air protected entrance, Scuba diving to the entrance, and living underwater.

Part B

In Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea the characters have the technology to live comfortably underwater. In Jules' Undersea Lodge they have the technology to live in luxury underwater. In the story however, the prisoners don't enjoy as much luxury as the visitors going to the lodge and they are in a moving submarine. Finally today's guests could order pizza, go scuba diving , and watch movies in an undersea hotel, but the characters can't do that.

Part A

I believe Verne created the undersea lodge in his writing. In the passage above they made a recreation of the lodge based on his novel "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea". In his novel he tells of how the evil "Captain Nemo" took his captives to the bottom of the sea.They related to that by using his writing as a blueprint.

Part B

In "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" the people are taken captive against their will.Also, in comparison to Jule's Undersea Lodge the hotel is stationary. It does not move. In "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" it says that the "monster" is a submarine, which can go to different places.
