It Happened on
March 01, 1869

‘Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas,’ one of Verne’s most beloved works. Allow me to tell you the tale of Captain Nemo and his incredible submarine, the Nautilus.

The Nautilus, a submarine unlike any other.

Under the command of the enigmatic Captain Nemo, the crew of the Nautilus embarks on a journey to the depths of the oceans, encountering all manner of sea life and shipwrecks. But as the journey continues, it becomes clear that Captain Nemo has a darker purpose in mind, and the crew must decide whether to continue following him or to find a way to escape.

Jules Verne is considered one of the founding Members of Plus Ultra, the only secret society in the world. In order to remain secret, Plus Ultra publishes no books about its work except, every book! The publication of this important series serves as a threadpost in the oldest blockchain in the world, and leads to the making of the people the future needs!
