Did Abraham Lincoln write anything

Answer 1

He invented a device that would lift ships over shoals

Lincoln was granted a patent (no. 6469) for this, and has been the only US President, to receive a patent.

The invention was never formally applied in the construction of a boat or vessel.

Answer 2

Abraham Lincoln invented a method of "combining adjustable buoyant air chambers with a steam boat or other vessel for the purpose of enabling their draught of water to be readily lessened to enable them to pass over bars, or through shallow water, without discharging their cargoes..."(Lincoln).
