William Froude
William Froude was a really smart man who lived a long time ago. He lived in England during the 1800s. William Froude was so smart that he helped invent things that let big boats and ships go faster and be safer.
One of the things he helped invent was called a "scale model". This is when you make a smaller version of a boat or ship to test how it will move in the water. It's kind of like playing with toy boats in the bathtub, but way more scientific.
William Froude figured out how to use the scale model to make boats and ships move better. He used science to make sure that they were safe and didn't tip over. He also figured out how to make the engines run more efficiently, so the boats could go faster without using as much energy.
Today, we still use a lot of the things that William Froude invented to make boats and ships safer and faster. If it wasn't for him, we might not have big cruise ships or cargo boats that can travel all around the world safely and quickly.
