In May 1849, the U.S. Patent Office issued a patent for a "device to lift boats over shoals" to a young lawyer who would later become a commander during the Civil War. The device was never manufactured, but the patent acquired a unique distinction.
Who was the young lawyer ? What was the unique distinction the patent acquired ?
