What famous figure invented this?

Maybe this was common knowledge, but I didn't know until recently. It's a design for bouyant air chambers for steamboats. Pretty cool.

    Honest Abe.

    There was an article about it in the Smithsonian Magazine back in the mid-2000s.

    I knew that vacation wouldn't keep you from here, Xenophon. ;)

    Not on it quite yet. Getting packed, etc. for it. I have the pleasure of taking care of my beautiful nine month old daughter this morning.

    Daddy-daughter mornings are the best (I have a two-year-old... don't know if I've ever mentioned her here).
