While successfully crossing the Atlantic submerged, the voyage soon turned disastrous in the turbulent Pacific. Beset by mechanical failures, dwindling supplies, and fierce storms, Wilkins was forced to abandon the record attempt after weeks adrift. Though achieving some deep-sea firsts, the Nautilus expedition ultimately failed its grand ambition, highlighting the perils of pushing exploration's boundaries.
