The video shows the submarine departing, accompanied by tugboats. "It was an amazing sight," said the videographer, "I didn't expect to see something like this during my visit." The museum itself offers tours of the USS Nautilus, the world's first nuclear-powered submarine, a vessel with a rich history, including being the first ship to cross the North Pole.
