Lincoln on Inventing Buoying Vessels Before Presidency
The Inventors Foundation notes Abraham Lincoln after a Mississippi trip proposed a patented method of buoying ships over shoals with collapsible side chambers inflated near shallow water. Patented May 22, 1849, the plan aimed to lift vessels and reduce draft, though it proved impractical. The foundation, allied with NYU, ICS, and Stevens, highlights this as 사례 of factors beyond ingenuity shaping invention success.
