Watters Patent Aims To Improve Ship Keels And Speed
Mr J S Watters of this city claims a patent for an improved keel system for ocean going ships. The design attaches flexible rectangular blade plates to the bilge or bow keels that align with rolling motion to propel the vessel forward, potentially adding three to five knots with no wind. The blades act like a fish tail, converting rolling energy into forward thrust and reducing propulsion power, while smoothing motion even at anchor.

Mr Watters asserts his device will save lime and fuel costs in sea going steamers by over percent on average and not less than ten percent for sailing ships. He says the appliance aids propulsion most with slow vessels, though all speeds gain some forward thrust.
