Alexander Graham Bell made the Hydrodome 4, which is a very fast boat. According to Americanhistory.si.edu “...the HD-4 had hydrofoils, or fins under the boat that lifted it out of the water to go faster. The HD-4 was originally powered by two 250-hp Renault engines, later replaced by two 360-hp Liberty engines” (Boat Model, Alexander Graham Bell’s HD-4 Hydrodrome, Ca 1960, n.d.). In September 1919 the Hydrodome even broke a record for the fastest that a boat could go at 70.86 miles per hour. This event has left a significant impact on American history
