Revolutionizing Transport in the Belgian Congo - Mons Robert B Goldschmidt's Ingenious Train Boats
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photograph, we are transported back to the early 20th century when innovation was at its peak. The image captures two remarkable amphibious boats invented by Mons Robert B Goldschmidt, a distinguished Fellow of the University of Brussels. These extraordinary vessels were designed to revolutionize transportation in the Belgian Congo. What makes these train boats truly exceptional is their ability to seamlessly transition between land and water. They effortlessly leave and regain the water using rail tracks specially built for them. A train of these amphibious marvels can navigate through challenging terrains on railway lines without any danger whatsoever. The significance of these train boats cannot be overstated as they promise to transform cargo transportation in the Belgian Congo. In fact, during transport trials, each boat has been observed carrying an impressive amount of merchandise equivalent to that conveyed by an ordinary railway train within this region. This monochrome portrait not only showcases Mons Robert B Goldschmidt's groundbreaking invention but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination during a time when technological advancements were reshaping our world. Captured by Central News, this rare photograph from Europeana Photography offers us a glimpse into history - an era where innovative minds like Mons Robert B Goldschmidt sought solutions that would shape future generations' lives for years to come.
