The Log of the Flying Fish
This book, published in 1887, was one of the first in the genre of science fiction. Harry Collingwood is remembered to the reader as the creator of the adventures on the high seas and sailing ships, pirates and sea heroes. However, he also succeeded in writing such fiction as “The Log of the Flying Fish”, where he described an airship made “of a material so light that it can rise vertically into the air if you pump out some of the air in its ballast tanks. It can also plunge into the depths of the ocean, because this special material, aetherium, is so strong that it can withstand water pressure to a great depth”.
