John Ericsson

The John Ericsson statue at Berzelii Park in Stockholm. He came up with the propeller among other things. One early such propeller was used during the American Civil War on the Monitor war ship, btw. And if you look closely under the bust, you can see a propeller there. The statue was made by John Börjeson. Still offline, btw.
