The submarine used by the Confederates the "Hunley" used a handpowered crankshaft turned by 7 men for propulsion. They were able to make about 4-5 knots speed on top end. It was the first submersible to sink an enemy ship, in this case the USS Hustatonic, a blockade ship off Charleston harbor. Unfortunately for the 8 men on board the Hunley, it was a one way trip as it sunk for some currently unknown reason.
