Nautilus (submarine, 2008)
The Nautilus , also known as the UC3 Nautilus , was a privately owned submarine built in Denmark . It was completed in 2008. The designer was Peter Madsen . With a length of 17.8 meters and a weight of 40 tons when fully equipped, it is the largest submarine built by a private individual. It was funded by crowdfunding and had a maximum diving depth of 100 m.
On August 11, 2017, it was flooded by Madsen to cover up the murder of Swedish journalist Kim Wall on board. On August 12, 2017, the boat was lifted from seven meters of water in the Køge Bugt south of Copenhagen and confiscated.
