Holland 1 (or HM submarine Torpedo Boat No 1) was the first submarine commissioned by the Royal Navy, the first in a six-boat batch of the Holland-class submarine. In 1901 it was ordered from John Philip Holland and built at Barrow-in-Furness. In order to keep the boat's construction secret, it was assembled in a building labeled "Yacht Shed", and the parts that had to be fabricated in the general yard were marked for "pontoon no 1".
