‘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!

With Lvov From Russia

It Happened on
June 21, 1899

Prince Gerogy Lvov in 1917

The Tacoma Daily Ledger announces the engagement of Brachfeld Elizabeth Vilma Parlaghy, a young Hungarian artist, with the noble Prince Georgy Lvov of Russia. This is a media placement composed by Vilma herself after the pair was brought together by Kaiser Wilhelm II. Princess Vilma uses the media to coordinate security activities for the benefit of Kaiser Wilhelm’s grandmother, Queen Victoria.

Prince Georgy Lvov was a Russian noble and politician who served as the first Prime Minister of the Russian Provisional Government following the February Revolution in 1917.

He was a member of the liberal Constitutional Democratic Party and was appointed as Prime Minister after Nicholas II abdicated the throne.

Lvov faced numerous challenges during his time in office, including political opposition from both the left and the right and the continuing military conflict in World War I. He was unable to effectively address these challenges and resigned from his position in July 1917.

In 1899, Prince Lvov married a Hungarian-born portrait painter Vilma Lwoff-Parlaghy in Prague; they were quickly divorced, though Vilma continued to style herself the “Princess Lwoff-Parlaghy” using her artist name with the authorization of Prince Lvov. The Prince also continued to provide her with a permanent annual allowance.
