In Leonardo da Vinci's time, nautical expedition was the most expedient method of communicating with the world. Da Vinci brought forth plans for a boat with large wheel-shaped paddles that would propel it through water. Da Vinci looked to nature when designing many of his inventions. He based the paddle boat on the shapes and movement of fish. The tapered prow allowed the vessel to maneuver easily. Sailors worked the pedals to turn the rotating paddles allowing the boat to move rapidly over water.
The scientific genius of Leonardo da Vinci is brought to life through this articulated model. The invention that inspired this snap-together replica is taken from the pages of da Vinci’s priceless and awe-inspiring notebooks. The model is made of plastic and requires no special tools. Manual is very educational and teaches how this invention has evolved into what it is today.
