The Story Of Paul Boyton


Overview

This book was originally marketed with this words: ""A rare tale of travel and Adventure. Thrilling experiences in distant lands, among strange people. A book for boys, old and young."" The description of the book is no exaggeration. Paul Boyton (1848-1924) was clearly a remarkable and fearless man and indeed had adventures that can only be described as thrilling. He discovered and started working with a rubber suit, similar to modern drysuits . It allowed the wearer to float on his or her back, using a double-sided paddle to propel themself, feet-forward. Eventually, he was to found the first ""amusement park"" featuring performing sea lions and water chutes.
