Resurgam

A photograph of a strangely dressed man intrigues its finder. Showing a man in a fez, it gives few clues to his identity.

Who is this man? Why is he wearing a foreign uniform?

After consulting various embassies and identifying the origins of this unusual uniform, the Revealing Secrets team discovers the identity of the man. We delve into the history of submarines and learn more about the Reverend Garrett, the father of the submarine.
