Mancub from CoceptArt.org presented  a few Victorian Era Submersibles  The first is [I]H.M.S. Narwhal[I] which is more of a recreation/exploration submarine. The second is the Seppuku, which is used to slice the belly of a ship, sink said vessel, and carry away precious cargo unnoticed while masquerading as a sea monster/hell-bent-crustacean. Both are part of a larger narrative and feature functioning parts.

Great  Work!!

THEO JANSEN

 Theo Jansen is a Dutch artist and kinetic sculptor. He builds large works which resemble skeletons of animals able to walk using the wind on the beaches of the Netherlands.

 “The Animaris Rhinoceros Transport is a type of animal with a steel skeleton and a polyester skin. It looks as if there is a thick layer of sand coating the animal. It weighes 2. tons, but can be set into motion by one person. It stands 4.70 meters tall. Because of its height it catches enough wind to start moving.”

Watch the movie:

 Pierre Matter is an amazing Steampunk artist.

For me the art of Pierre Matter is an example of transition from decorative to fine arts. He does this with unmistakeable flavor and steam. He studied mathematics and his work emerged from a parallel work in painting and stone sculpture.
