EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases Admiral McDonald's Patent Folding Boat, as exhibited at the Crystal Palace in London during November 1878. The innovative design of this lightweight and portable skiff gained significant attention due to its versatility and ease of transportation. The image captures the boat in two distinct settings: as a liferaft (bottom right) and under sail and oar (centre). The Crystal Palace, a grand exhibition hall, was the perfect venue for showcasing the latest technological advancements of the time. The Admiral McDonald's Folding Boat was a standout invention, as it offered a practical solution for those in need of a small, portable watercraft. Its ability to be easily folded made it an essential addition to any traveler's or mariner's kit. The boat's design was the brainchild of Admiral Sir John Peter McDonald, a Scottish naval officer who served in the Royal Navy. His patent for the folding boat was granted in 1877, and it quickly gained popularity both in the UK and abroad. The boat's importance in maritime history is evident in its inclusion in the Crystal Palace exhibition, which attracted visitors from all corners of the globe. The image, produced by ILN (Illustrated London News), provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the technological innovations of the late 19th century. The Admiral McDonald's Folding Boat was more than just a novelty; it represented a significant step forward in the development of portable watercraft, paving the way for future designs and advancements in marine technology.
