  • 1601: After weeks at of hunting at sea, submarine inventor Cornelius Drebbel locates the marine cryptid and alleged supervillain Neptune Slaughter. The resulting battle will permanently drive Neptune Slaughter from Dutch waters.

  • 1708: Mathematician Seki Takakazu dies. He created a new algebraic notation system and, motivated by astronomical computations, did work on infinitesimal calculus and Diophantine equations. Seki laid foundations for the subsequent development of Japanese mathematics known as wasan; he has been described as "Japan's Newton".
