They say it's small and "quiet." I wonder what it used for propulsion. With a range of 110 miles, I'd assume a gasoline or diesel engine. And I don't think of either of those as being "quiet."

According to this PDF, it was gasoline powered and was very dangerous because the fumes would settle in the bottom of the boat.

That's probably 1950s 'quiet'. As in 'quiet to the ear'. It would probably be noticed from waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off by a modern sub's listening equipment.

Gondolas are for tourists and wimps.

We wanted no part of the war in Europe, but after a U-Boat sunk the Lusitania president Wilson told Germany knock it off, no more passenger ships or we'd come over there. Germany complied until the Russians collapsed, then the Germans said you're not the boss of me, figuring the could beat England and the U-Boats would keep the US from coming to the fight. That's why this U-Boat was in NY.
