The submarine of Jet Mir Thakur, exiled prince of Honey Earth, is one of the most prodigious pieces of engineering to be found under the sea; presumably built in the Laccadives Sea as it was given to the prince as an inheritance from his grandfather.
When seen, stable and steady on the seabed, resting on its copper legs, it offers an astonishing spectacle. Seeing it is similar to having an encounter with a large underwater creature, as the submarine resembles a gigantic Azorean crab. Its orange hue, mottled complexion, and scattered specks of rust decorating its surface give it an avant-garde and almost mystical appearance.
On its roof, there is an entrance leading to a round hatch with a radius of one meter, lined with walls made of huge sheets of wavy reddish metal, like the armor of a lobster. Pictures of archipelagos scattered here and there decorate the hatch. There’s no door, and the elevator control panel is the only element you will find there.
Now it’s time to select the floor. Inside, the submarine is divided into twelve floors, and on its way down, the elevator platform will descend through several floors, revealing doors on the walls. Almost all of them are solid and ornate, although at the height of the third floor, you will only see a large hole covered by a metal net through which misty rays of light are pouring. The last stop of the elevator will be the second floor, built on a decagonal plane, that is to say: with ten sides.
That floor is very different. Its walls, made of glass, offer a complete and ideal view of the seabed and its surroundings, perfect since it is from this particular floor that the submarine is piloted. Solid columns support the ceiling and, in its center, is the control room, which is much simpler than it may seem. It consists of just a triple helm, a striped chair, and a large desk with an underwater globe that, unlike the normal ones, marks the seas and not the lands, leaving the latter in white. The triton countries are marked in different colors and the uninhabited seas like the Sargasso in grey.
But let’s move back up, as there are other interesting things to explore that we had left behind. The fourth floor is where the rooms are located. Its corridor is lined with a beautiful material created by the tritons of the Brahmaputra River in India, very similar to carnelian. The rooms located there are all furnished in Indian style. There are large beds covered with embroidered blankets, wardrobes covered with reliefs, and dressing tables painted with mermaids and tritons in colorful attires, with dark hair and jewels on their foreheads, playing with each other.
The fifth floor is a dressing room full of clothes from all over the world, where a switch hanging on the wall activates the lights. Transparent tubes filled with a glowing chemical substance create light.
There is surely also a kitchen, where Jet Mir’s sisters prepare his favorite meals: curry fish with naan bread. Of course, taking into consideration the submarine’s size, there are surely several more mysteries which we hope to discover later on.
It’s also interesting to know that the submarine travels at about twenty-four knots, barely slower than a whale and ideal for long distances.
