Yes, President Abraham Lincoln invented a method to lift boats over shoals and obstructions in a river. Though he received Patent No. 6469 on May 22, 1849 for this device, it was never manufactured. It is the only United States patent ever registered to a sitting (or any) President of the United States. His patent papers were rediscovered in 1997. Lincoln called the device and patent "Buoying Vessels Over Shoals" as a descriptive name.
