His sleek fire engine could shoot gallons of water as high as ninety feet. His steam locomotive could fly down the tracks at the unheard of speed of thirty miles per hour. But was such a quantity of water necessary? Was such speed advisable? Neither the starched lords of the British Admiralty nor the snooty London Fire Brigade were ready for his strange and wonderful inventions. However, wonderful opportunities awaited Captain Ericsson on the other side of the Atlantic, where people had a taste for dreamers.

USA 2005. This illustrated biography of the inventor and captain of the Civil War ironclad USS Monitor depicts Swedish immigrant John Ericsson as a visionary inventor. The only thing keeping him from huge successes with a fire engine, a fast railway engine, and a screw propeller, the book tells us, was the shortsightedness of the men who couldn't see the value of them. Years before the Civil War, Ericsson had invented an iron-covered ship with a gun turret, but no one was interested-until another ironclad builder saw his design and recommended it over his own to a navy committee.
