The answer to that question is not easily found. The Fenian Ram is the first practical submarine, in that it was able to run on its own power using its 2 cylinder Brayton oil engine and dive and submerge successfully. Holland's brother, Michael, had been introduced to the Fenian Movement, who sought Irish independence from British rule and had organized a skirmishing fund.

The Union constructed the Into this portion of the story now comes John Philip Holland, an engineer and native of Liscannor, County Clare, who emigrated to the United States in 1873.
