The invention of the Tin Can. Peter Durand wanted to preserve food in a way that it didnt have to keep cool to taste half way decent. He Patented this magnificent piece of history in 1813. Peter didnt produce any cans himself but sold his patent to two other english men Bryan Donkin and John Hall. These two smart men started up a caning buisness. By 1813 they were producing these little sometimes bigger than others cans for the British Army. In the early canning days were sealed with lead soldering which lead up to lead poisioning and alot of deaths back in the day cause they didnt have any cure for it. In 1901, the American Can Company was founded which, at the time, produced 90% of United States tin cans. Everyone knows what a tin can looks like a assume. Here are the three easy step for making and puting material in a tin can. number one Joining the bottom and wall . The Second step for making tin can is filling the can with content. which that could be anything that you put into a tin can. The third and final step of this process is joining the wall and top to make a great piece of art. People dont know that a tin can can be recycled. It is the best thing to be recycled by the way. 65% of steel cans can be recycled and put to use by making great things for our country. My Personal opinion is that the tin can was a great invention people didnt know how to conserve there food. People can buy food ahead of time so they have food around incase of an emergancy. The tin can is one the great inventions back in the early 1800's.
