Benjamin Banneker - Wooden Clock

Time: 1753

Place: Baltimore County, Province of Maryland

Details: Around 1753 at about the age of 21, Banneker reportedly completed a wooden clock that struck on the hour. He appears to have modeled his clock from a borrowed pocket watch by carving each piece to scale. The clock purportedly continued to work until his death.
