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.
Abraham Lincoln. Before he became president, he was interested in engineering. He wondered if there were a way to invent something that might keep ships from running aground, and he came up with an idea for inventing such a device. He received Patent 6469 on May 22, 1849. It was called "Buoying Vessels Over Shoals,"and although the actual invention never seems to have been built, he is the first (and only) president to hold such a patent.
