The name HOLLAND is from her designer and builder, John Philip Holland. Holland was born in Ireland in 1840. He developed the first true submarine accepted by the U.S. Navy (spending 57 of his 74 years working with submersibles). Holland came to the United States in 1873. In 1875 his first submarine designs were submitted for consideration by the U.S. Navy but turned down as unworkable. Holland continued to improve his designs and worked on several experimental boats prior to his successful efforts with the privately built Holland, launched in 1898. This was the first submarine having power to run submerged for any considerable distance. She was purchased by the Navy after rigorous tests, and six more of her type were ordered. On 12 August 1914, John Philip Holland died in Newark, NJ.
