Celebrity Inventors: Abraham Lincoln
In 1849, future president Lincoln patented not the stovepipe hat, nor his distinctive beard arrangement, but ‘a manner of buoying vessels’ (US Patent No. 6,469). At the time, he was still an Illinois congressman. The invention was never taken up commercially, but there is a model in the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC.
