Lake, Simon (1866-1945)

US engineer and inventor. Interested in designing underwater vessels, he competed with John Holland's submarine design of 1893, and launched his gasoline engine-powered Argonaut, which, in 1898, became the first submarine to successfully operate in the open sea. He established the Lake Torpedo Boat Company in Bridgeport, Connecticut in 1900 and the US government bought his submarine Seal in 1911. He also worked as a submarine consultant to the Russian, German, and British governments. Lake was born in Pleasantville, New Jersey.
