The Swinging Cabin of SS Bessemer

English inventor Sir Henry Bessemer, renowned for his groundbreaking steel manufacturing process that still bears his name, once lamented, “Few persons have suffered more severely than I have from sea sickness.” Despite being one of the foremost inventors of the Second Industrial Revolution, Bessemer's brilliance was not immune to personal trials. With over a hundred inventions in iron, steel, and glass to his name, most of which saw success, his endeavor to create a ship to alleviate his chronic seasickness, however, ended in failure.
