Jet+boat

William Hamilton was born in Canterbury in the South Island of New Zealand in 1899. In 1921 he bought his own farm. It had big mountains on it. This made it hard to walk over the farm. So William Hamilton built his own bulldozer and dug a dam and made electricity with water. He was a very clever man. He made a business that made airport runways for aeroplanes. He had a great business making bulldozers and other machines. He had a dream of making a fast boat that could drive against the current of water. In 1953 he invented the water jet. He made an engine and put it in the boat. He became famous for being the first person to make the jet boat engine. His boat was the first ever to go up the rivers of the Grand Canyon. In 1974 he was knighted for valuable services to manufacturing (manufacturing means things made by people in a factory)
