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.
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.
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.
The scientist who is credited with inventing sonar is Paul Langevin, a French physicist. In 1915, Langevin developed the first practical application of sonar as a way to detect submarines during World War I. His work laid the foundation for the use of sonar technology in various fields, including marine navigation and underwater exploration.
The first sonar invention was called the "echo sounder" and was developed in 1913 by Lewis Fry Richardson. It was initially used to measure water depth by sending sound waves into the water and measuring the time it took for the echo to return.
I believe that Lewis Nixon was 45 when he invented sonar. He was born in 1861. Kelly Nixon Mayr
It was Lewis Nixon who invented the very first sonar-type listening device in 1906.

It was Lewis Nixon who invented the very first sonar-type listening device in 1906. He was seeking a way of detecting icebergs. But the sonar was not "invented", its inventor was nobody, but developed through the years.Sonar had very humble beginnings, from crude instruments to advanced technology. (However, the natural sensory process cannot be invented, see bisonar or echolocation for that.) The first attempts to interpret sound waves created by vessels was by Leonardo Da Vinci in 1490, when he used a tube that detected vessel movements when placed in water.
The 1925 Meteor Sonar was invented by Albert Beaumont Wood, a British engineer and inventor. His work with sonar technology significantly contributed to advancements in underwater acoustics during that time.

A Canadian inventor named Reginald Fessenden invented SONAR in the early 20th century.
