Step into a steamy Annapolis workshop and meet Benjamin Bradley, the brilliant young inventor who built a working steam engine while enslaved at the U.S. Naval Academy!
This episode is full of invention, bravery, and the strange unfair laws that tried to hide his achievement. Perfect for curious minds who love machines, history, and real-life heroes. Ben & Pia guide the adventure with excitement and respect as we rewind time to the 1840s.
Historical Fun Fact: Early steam engines converted heat into motion by driving pistons and flywheels — a technology that helped ships move even without wind!
Did you know? Enslaved people were often barred from receiving patents in the 1800s, so many brilliant inventions by Black inventors went uncredited for years.
