National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium

Lincoln’s Patent Prototype

Understandably, most people think of Honest Abe’s many other accomplishments, but another interesting aspect of this past president is his experience as an inventor. Helping the National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium create a unique element for its display, we used the drawings from Lincoln’s patent to hand-build a prototype model of this buoying system he developed for large vessels.
