Hello, my try with
30. Das Boot hatte den Antrieb, den man seinem Namensgeber 205 Jahre zuvor am Zusammenfluß von Fulda und Werra zerschlagen hatte

The person here is French physicist, mathematician and inventor Denis Papin. Papin built perhaps the first paddle-steamer powered by a piston-in-cylinder steam engine in 1707 to operate on the river Weser. The local oarsmen feared losing their work and destroyed the boat in Münden. The French Pluviôse-class submarine Denis Papin commissioned in 1909 used both steam power and electricity.
