Heritage: Acknowledging the extreme engineering feat of British engineer, Robert Whitehead. Robert invented the first self-propelled torpedo with the hopes of "ending war".

He was the great-grandfather to the von Trapp children and grandfather to their mother, Agathe Gobertina Whitehead.

His 1905 obituary in The Engineer stated, "Paradoxical as it may seem, Mr. Whitehead is reported to have considered [the torpedo] as a means for ensuring peace rather than bringing war... His idea, no doubt, was of the fearful effects of the torpedo, once realized, would be a sufficient deterrent to peoples and nations contemplating war."

Robert's first manufacturing factory was in Fiume within the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, today still stands located in Rijeka, Croatia.
