| | William Kennish |
 | | William Kennish was born in 1799 in a cottage, in the Parish of Maughold, close by the foot of the Bridge of Corrany, on the Isle of Man, which is located in the Irish Sea between Ireland, and Great Britain. |
 | | William was raised on a farm located in the Upper Cornaa Valley -- the Cornaa Farm, by his humble parents, where he followed a plough and worked the land, and then as he grew older, he turned to, and learned the trade of a ship's carpenter at Ramsey. |
 | | William unknowingly had made another significant discovery, however, his was a world of sail, and steam power and the screw propeller were not brought into use until years after he had died. |
