He helped the pioneering inventor John Philip Holland gain acceptance of his craft within the United States naval community. Mr. Morris was a good friend of the inventor and helped him out during a time when Holland was in financial trouble prior to the acceptance of The United States Navy's first commissioned submarine, USS Holland . Morris served as the shipyard superintending engineer on the submarine project from 1896–1897. The pioneering submarine was purchased by the United States Government on 11 April 1900.
