William Cantelo
William Cantelo (born 1839) was a 19th-century British inventor. Credited with developing an early machine gun, he disappeared from his home in Southampton in the 1880s. While trying to find Cantelo, his two sons saw a photograph of American born inventor Hiram Maxim, creator of the Maxim gun; his superficial similarity to their father led them to believe that he had re-emerged under a new name.
==Background==
Cantelo was born in 1839 at Newport on the Isle of Wight. He was an engineer who, in the 1870s, owned a shop on French Street in Southampton and a yard in Northam, employing up to 40 people. He was also the landlord of the Old Tower Inn at the end of Bargate Street which derived its name from the Arundel Tower against which it was built.〔 Beneath the pub was a tunnel where Cantelo spent much of his time, turning it into an underground workshop.〔
Cantelo was married with three children – a daughter and two sons.〔 He was a keen musician and the bandmaster of the old 2nd Hampshires.〔
