John Edye

John Edye FRS (7 August 1789 – 1 March 1873)[1] was a naval architect and Assistant Surveyor of the Royal Navy in the early 19th century.[2] He invented a new means of construction for wooden warships and produced the detail for the Surveyor William Symonds's many designs.[2] Together he and Symonds created larger and larger wooden warships for the Royal Navy,[2] which were able not only to defeat an enemy by weight of fire (as the Navy had long been able to do) but also to pursue them and force battle.[2]

Edye was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society on 5 February 1835.[1]
