PATENTEB JUL 25 w71 ATENT GFFIGE.
ROBERT HOORER, OF BALTIMORE, MARYLAND.
IMPROVEMENT IN CANAL-BOATS?)V Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 117,419, dated July 25, 1871.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ROBERT HoornR, of Baltimore, in the county of Baltimore and State of Maryland, have invented a new and Improved Canal-Boat; and l do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing making a part of this speciiica-tion, in which- Figure 1 is a front elevation, and Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical section.
This invention consists in an improvement in the class of canal-boats in which the bow or stern, or both, are so constructed as to forni a channel or passage-way for the water. To this end the boat is introverted at the bow and a recess formed for reception of a paddle-wheel, as will be hereinafter more fully described.
Referring to the drawing, A is a canal-boat; a, the longitudinal recess at the stern with a sloping upper side; b, a chamber, opening' from the recess a to the deck, for the purposeof receiving a paddle-wheel for propelling the boat. c o are the two parts of the divided bow. d. are the convex inner sides of the parts c. The recess e receives water, and the agitation thereof is smothered by the iiat bottom of the boat. The sharp edges ofthe parts c cut the water without rolling it oft' at the sides.
I am well aware it is not new to propel boats by means of a wheel arranged in a recess in the stern, nor to form such recess by extending the sides of the boat backward, leaving the stern rounded under, as usual, but my invention pertains to a (Ilifferent con struction and arrangement, which is specified in the following claim:
A boat, A, provided with the recess a, with a rounding and slopingupper side in its bow, and
the chamber b leading into the same, as herein shown and described.
ROBERT HOOPER. Witnesses:
