A Kraken Attacks the Nautilus

Disney’s Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.

Having to travel through the area of the ocean where the mighty kraken existed the Nautilus was inadvertently attacked by a kraken. The kraken presumably mistook the Nautilus to be a whale of the species that it would typically assail.

Discharging an electrical current to the outside of the submarine only temporally deterred the kraken’s attack on the Nautilus and it was back on the Nautilus with multiple tentacles. Having burned out the electrical discharge circuit the Nautilus comes to the surface of the ocean during a tempest, to battle the monster with axes and grappling hooks.

Several men were either injured or lost during the battle that ensued. It wasn’t until Ned Land the renowned harpooner hit the kraken in one of its eyes did the kraken withdraw.

Disney’s Nautilus Submarine

It has been a while since I made my last post on Captain Nemo’s Nautilus Submarine. Over the holidays I watched Disney’s Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea for the sole purpose of taking some screenshots of the Nautilus. Back in March of 2014 I made a post on the Nautilus where I mentioned how Disney’s rendition of the Nautilus seems to be the most popular version purported in popular culture.

Here are a few of the screen shots of the Nautilus.

In the Search for a Nautilus Submarine Model

Pegasus Hobbies Nautilus model isn't the only model of its sort. Many of models listed on the Jules Verne Nautilus Models page are replicas of Disney’s Nautilus submarine like the one being offered by Pegasus Hobbies. The trouble is not in the finding of such models, but the locating a purchasable copy of such.
