Interesting Events that Changed History: #ThrowbackThursday #April10
April 10, 1790- On this day, the United States patent system was formed.
April 10, 1849- Walter Hunt patented the safety pin in New York. I personally use a safety pin atleast three to four times a week.
April 10, 1866- On this date, Henry Bergh founded the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) in New York City. Every time I think of the ASPCA, Sarah Mclachlan’s commercial comes to mind. The mere thought of that commercial brings tears to my eyes.
April 10, 1912- Titanic set sail on this date for its first maiden voyage. As many of you may already know, Titanic unfortunately collided with an iceberg only four days after setting sail. This incident led to the ill-fated accident that caused more than 1,500 deaths.
