Maria E. Beasley was a visionary ahead of her time, whose innovations saved countless lives and continue to inspire generations. In 1882, she revolutionized maritime safety by patenting a collapsible life raft. Her design, featuring metal floats and airtight containers, allowed for easy storage and quick deployment in emergencies, laying the foundation for modern life rafts and transforming maritime travel. 🌊

Did you know Beasley’s life rafts were used on the Titanic, saving over 700 people? Each raft accommodated 47 passengers and took up less space than traditional wooden lifeboats.

Throughout her remarkable career, Beasley secured 15 patents, many focused on transportation safety. She wasn’t just an inventor—she was a problem solver, dedicated to making the world safer. Her legacy continues to inspire us at Squeem, driving us to create products that embody both efficiency and practicality. We aim to give our fans a sense of electrifying confidence and pride that shines through when they wear our products. 💪

Maria E. Beasley reminds us that bold ideas and fearless action can change the world. Here’s to her and all the women who, like her, blaze their own trails and inspire others to do the same. ✨
