About William Congreve :
Congreve was a lawyer, politician and scientist who invented the rocket.
Congreve was born on May 20th 1772 in Kent, the son of General William Congreve, comptroller of the Royal Laboratory at Woolwich. He was educated at Singlewell School and Trinity College, Cambridge. His early career was devoted to the study of law, writing political journals and assisting his father at the Royal Laboratory.
In 1804, he learned of a primitive gunpowder device that was used against British troops, by the Indian warlord Hyder Ali, and was inspired to construct a superior appliance for the British military. In 1805, he was able to demonstrate to the Prime Minister, Pitt the Younger, a rocket, 40 inches long, with a stabilising stick, 16 feet long, and a range of 6,000 feet. Congreve's rockets were used effectively by the Royal Navy in bombardments of Boulogne, Copenhagen and Danzig, during the Napoleonic Wars and by the British army at the battle of Leipzig of 1813. They were also used in the British attack on Fort McHenry, Baltimore during the War of 1812.
