"Torpedo Boats are small vessels built for speed and fitted with tubes for firing torpedoes by either compressed air or gunpowder. They can be used on the surface or submerged to do their work unseen beneath the water. A, storage batteries; C, bulkheads; E, vertical tubes, with horizontal propellers; G, rudders; H, horizontal fin; M, electric motor; R, water tanks; P, weight to be dropped in an emergency. "—(Charles Leonard-Stuart, 1911)

A diving bell, also known as a wet bell, is a cable-suspended airtight chamber, open at the bottom like a moon pool structure, that is lowered underwater to operate as a base or a means of transport for a small number of divers. The pressure of the water keeps the air trapped inside the bell. They were the first type of diving chamber. Unlike a submarine the diving bell is not designed to move under the control of its occupants, nor to operate independently of its tether.

"The large iron vessel does not allow air to escape once it is lowered into a body of water for underwater work. The hose attached to the top allows for new air to enter the bell." —Quackenbos 1859

"A Submarine Boat is a boat capable of being propelled under the water. The first was probably that constructed by Drebbel, a Dutchman, for James I., and Robert Fulton made an effort in the same direction in 1801. Among recent submarine boats the most noteworthy is the Holland submarine torpedo boat."—(Charles Leonard-Stuart, 1911)

A water craft is a vehicle, vessel or craft designed to move across water, including saltwater and freshwater, for pleasure, recreation, physical exercise, commerce, transport and military missions. It is derived from the term craft which was used as term to describe all types of water going vessels.
