The first known use of a propeller-like device dates back to ancient Greece, with Archimedes’ screw around 250 BC, primarily for raising water. However, the modern screw propeller was developed in the early 19th century, with significant advancements attributed to inventions by Francis Pettit Smith and John Ericsson in the 1830s. These innovations laid the foundation for the use of propellers in marine and aviation technology.
