        That prop is definitely the one on the SS Great Britain. They had to reconstruct the prop, along with much of the upper works as the remains of the ship were just a hulk brought back from the Falkland islands in the early 1970's. Amazing it survived at all really.

            The propeller on the SS Great Britain is based on the first version. However later in its service a four bladed screw was made and fitted. You can see a model of that prop in the foreground of the photo.

                                You betcha!

                                I'll post pictures today of the assembled propeller master and will include some documentation that will better connect the work to Harper Goff's NAUILUS.

                                                    If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.
