 You like boats (especially ones that go underwater). Narcís Monturiol.
Damn, I guess that the hint went too far. Yes, Narciso Monturiol, inventor of the first functional submarine powered by an engine.

Here's a big hint (you can thank me later): this person had strong opinions that might be described as philosophical and this person may have have dabbled in the arts, but this person is most well known for their invention.
