This sounds more like a diving bell than a submarine. To be a submarine, it would have had to have an internal propulsion system, and I can't imagine what that could have been. If it was operating at 100' depths, it certainly wasn't hand cranked, as was the Hunley.

No, this is a diving bell and not a submarine.

Certainly looks like it had a propeller and rudder to me.
