EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph from the annals of maritime history, American inventor Terry is shown proposing his latest creation, an aquatic tricycle, in the late 19th century. Terry had previously made headlines by crossing the English Channel in a unique tricycle-boat in July 1884. Now, he presents this unconventional watercraft which travels on the surface of calm waters. The image captures the inventor's confident demeanor as he explains the workings of his invention to an attentive audience. The aquatic tricycle, a precursor to modern watercraft, features three wheels that provide stability on the water. Terry's design allows the tricycle to move efficiently across the surface, making it an attractive alternative to traditional boats and ships for short-distance travel. The inventor's innovative spirit and determination to push the boundaries of transportation are evident in this photograph. Despite the calm day depicted in the image, navigating the waters in an aquatic tricycle would have required a certain level of skill and experience. The inventor's earlier Channel crossing had taken him over 21 hours, and the success of his new invention would depend on its ability to handle various weather conditions. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of water transportation and the unconventional methods employed by inventors to meet the challenges of the day. Terry's aquatic tricycle may not have revolutionized the way we travel on water, but it represents an important chapter in the ongoing quest for more efficient and innovative watercraft.
