The Log of the Flying Fish: A Story of Aerial and Submarine Peril and Adventure
Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England
"The Log of the Flying Fish: A Story of Aerial and Submarine Peril and Adventure" by Harry Collingwood is a science fiction novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows Professor Heinrich von Schalckenberg, a German scientist, and a group of wealthy Englishmen who embark on extraordinary adventures aboard a newly designed airship named the "Flying Fish." Through their journeys, they explore the North Pole, Mount Everest, and even deeper into the ocean, encountering various perils as they test the capabilities of their innovative vessel. The opening portion of the narrative introduces us to the luxurious ambience of the "Migrants'" Club in London, where the main characters convene. The professor engages in a spirited discussion about the future of aerial navigation, unveiling his bold ideas about an airship constructed from a unique lightweight material called aetherium. The four main characters—a baronet, a colonel, a lieutenant, and von Schalckenberg—express interest in his theories and to his delight, agree to fund and accompany him on this groundbreaking venture. As the story progresses, the professor's ambitious plans to construct the "Flying Fish" evolve, setting the stage for their adventurous escapades into the skies and beneath the waves.
