Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: In 1900, Alfred Rose of Cleveland, Ohio was a sailor, when he lost his left foot "a few inches above the ankle" in an accident with a hawser. Within a few months, he had built himself a prosthetic leg, featuring a "large hook at the lower end", an "iron pin below the knee", and "two small pins, one on either side of the leg halfway down"; with it, he was able to climb masts like the other sailors.
