Edward Edgar Foden (14 February 1913 – 8 June 1985) was a British marine engineer and inventor.[1] He lived until his death in Walker, Newcastle upon Tyne, England. He is credited with the invention of many devices for ships such as a cargo hatch cover, lifeboat davits, and an escape hatch for submarines. His inventions are cataloged in the Newcastle-based Discovery Museum.
Foden made little money from his inventions, as he sold off the patent rights for small reward and to support his family.[citation needed] However, the manufacturers of his inventions made millions.[citation needed]
