A Canadian inventor named Reginald Fessenden invented SONAR in the early 20th century.
Lewis Nixon did not invent sonar. Sonar was actually invented by Reginald Fessenden in 1913. Sonar stands for sound navigation and ranging, which is a technique that uses sound propagation to navigate, communicate with, or detect objects underwater.
Sonar was gradually developed and improved over many years, but the first operational form of sonar as we now know it goes back to about 1918.
I believe that Lewis Nixon was 45 when he invented sonar. He was born in 1861. Kelly Nixon Mayr
In 1915, Paul Langévin invented the first sonar type device for detecting submarines called an "echo location to detect submarines" using the piezoelectric properties of the quartz.
The first recorded use of sonar was in the time of Da Vinci - 1490. Stick a hydrophone in the water and listen to see what you can hear. That's sonar. It was left until the early 1900's when the Titanic sunk that sonar was looked at to aid marine navigation. The development of submarines at about this time caused the military to investigate it. Electronics was growing up in the same period, and all these factors combined to bring us "modern" sonar.

The Sonar device was invented in 1906 by Lewis Nixon. -T

Scientist use the device "Sonar."

It was Lewis Nixon who invented the very first sonar-type listening device in 1906.
