Who invented sonar?

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.
