next year, received an American register, was re-named the New Jersey, and was the first screw-propeller (excepting the small, twin-screw propeller of Stevens) in American waters. Ericsson's patent was July 13, 1836, and his propeller had spiral blades, the preferable form. The first propeller war-steamer was the Princeton, launched into the Delaware. Smith's propeller. Francis P. Smith's name is intimately associated with the introduction of the propeller. His patent is dated May 31, 1836. He was the first to make it a continuous screw and to place it in the dead-wood. His screw was attached to the Archimedes in 1839. Of the four cigar steamers of Messrs. Winans, the propeller of the first was placed around amidships; the second, beneath; the third is fitted for trying in various positions; the fourth has a propeller at each end. In 1863, the Far-East, a propeller with two screws, was launched at Millwall, England. The screw-propeller generally consists of a bos

to Albany in August, 1807, but a few days after that of Fulton, in the Clermont. This, in which a single screw was employed, is shown at c. Stevens's propeller, 1804. Stevens navigated his propeller by sea to the Delaware, as Chancellor Livingston had obtained a patent for the navigation of the Hudson by steam. See propeller. F. P. Smith, a farmer, of Romney, England, made a model boat in 1834, in which was a stern screwpropeller driven by a spring. Smith's patent was granted May 31, 1836. Though his claims were more extensive, the actual novelty of his invention seems to have been placing the screw in an open space in the dead-wood (see Fig. 3973). He constructed a boat of 10 tons burden, with an engine of 6 horse-power, which was tried on the Paddington Canal, the river Thames, and, the next year, along the coast. The Archimedes was constructed by the help of the Messrs. Rennie, in 1838. She was 155 feet long, 237 tons burden, 90 horse-power. The screws were 5 and
