    And Alexander Graham Bell's boat was the first recorded boat to do 70 mph. He acomplished it in 1919 at a speed of 70.86 mph

    Speaking of crapper..... someone recently told me this.... that the crapper was invented by Thomas Crapper.... Crapper Plumbing Co. (http://www.thomas-crapper.com/history04.htm)
    So, the crapper was invented by a Brit.... I hope he does not take credit for the "bowl" too....
