Framed Print of Tucker's Surf Boat, 1879
Tucker's Surf Boat, 1879, No. 215.843. Patented May 27, 1879. "Be it known that I, Richard H. Tucker of Viscassct, Lincoln county, Maine, have invented an Improvement in Surf-Boats, of which the following is a specification. The object of my invention is to produce a surfboat which shall combine the greatest possible buoyancy with a form least liable to capsize, and which is adapted to be propelled by the expulsion of air against the water underneath the boat. It consists in making the entire interior of a boat (made circular in form, and with spherical upper and lower surfaces) an air-reservoir capable of holding compressed air, and having pipes opening into the hold, and communicating with the outside, as will be hereinafter fully set forth...The form of the boat renders it impossible to capsize it in any sea, and the entire space beneath the deck being filled with air under all circumstances it is rendered buoyant in the highest degree." A surfboat is an oar-driven boat designed to enter the ocean from the beach in heavy surf or severe waves. It is often used in lifesaving or rescue missions where the most expedient access to victims is directly from the beach. © New York Public Library / Science Source
