## Caption

In 1776, the first combat submarine attack in history took place in New York Harbor. Invented by David Bushnell, "The Turtle" was a one-man, pedal-powered vessel designed to attach a timed explosive to a British flagship. Featuring THIRTEEN's Francesca Poliseno, this clip from the 1976 program "Paths of Rebellion" reveals how the mission unfolded and why it almost ended in disaster.
