- Muito bom dia amigas e amigos visitantes, colaboradores e seguidores deste nosso blog dedicado à divina MAR, à inteligente VELA e ao sagrado MEIO-AMBIENTE!

Hoje comemora-se o aniversário de nascimento de um dos macróbios humanos mais inteligentes que o planeta Terra já viu.

Embora ele não tenha inventado o BARCO À VELA, que na minha humilde opinião é mais, muito mais importante que a lâmpada elétrica, rendo-lhe homenagem publicando duas biografias, um texto avulso mais uma check list.

E pra fechar com chave de ouro, com gosta de dizer minha avó Balbina, no pé do post, você encontrará curioso leitor, o link para a lista de todas as 1.093 patentes de invenções registradas por Edison. Eu disse todas! Feliz? Eu muito, sempre quis cravar meus olhos de voyeur insaciável nessa imensa lista.

Thomas Edison’s Electric Boat

When I heard the Edison & Ford Estate Museum, in Ft. Myers, FL, has a replica of Thomas Edison’s Electric Boat I had to visit the museum and take the riverfront tour on this vessel. The museum actually has four replica vessels that provide 90-minute trips on the river. The replica boats, constructed of fiberglass are 33 feet long and seat approximately 20 passengers. The original electric launch had four large wicker easy chairs for the Edison’s and their... link-do-texto
