Abraham Lincoln became the first US President to hold a patent for an invention. He was awarded a patent in 1849 for devising a set of bellows located in a ships hold to be deployed in order to lift the ship over shoals and other obstructions in river beds. This would enable new and larger cargo vessels to navigate further upstream than previously they never could. This would help the trade of small towns faraway up river. Lincoln actually built a model of this to obtain the patent, however, he could not raise the money for a prototype.
