"To prove that his invention is unsinkable, Menotti Nanni, a Chicago inventor, locked himself into a 6,000 pound safe which was thrown over board in view of thousands at Battery Park yesterday afternoon. After being submerged in thirty-five feet of water for nearly a minute, the safe appeared on the surface and the inventor was released." New-York tribune., June 03, 1918, Page 6, col. 2 chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1918-06-03/ed-...
