In the summer of 1908 Casey Baldwin and Alexander Graham Bell began discussing powered watercraft and began building and testing various types before turning to the construction of an aircraft that could take off from water that the two called a "hydrodrome. A watercraft is a Vehicle, vessel or craft designed to move across (or through Water, including saltwater and freshwater for pleasure recreation physical " While the project was temporarily shelved, in 1919 Baldwin built the HD-4 hydrofoil that set a world water speed record of 70. The World Unlimited water speed record is the officially recognised fastest speed achieved by a water-borne vehicle 86 mph on Bras d'Or Lake. Bras d'Or Lake (pronounced) is a large body of water dominating the centre of Cape Breton Island in the province of Nova Scotia, Canada. However, the watercraft was not a commercial success and the HD-4 project was ended in 1921. Following the death of Alexander Graham Bell, Casey Baldwin continued boat building and experimenting in hydrofoils in Cape Breton. A local celebrity, in 1933 Baldwin was elected to the Provincial Legislature as the member from Victoria County. The 39th General Assembly of Nova Scotia represented Nova Scotia between August 22, 1933 to June 20, 1937. Victoria County is a County in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia.
Casey Baldwin died in Beinn Bhreagh, Nova Scotia in 1948. Beinn Bhreagh is the name given to the estate of Alexander Graham Bell and his descendants located in Victoria County, Nova Scotia. Following its creation, in 1974 he was inducted posthumously into Canada's Aviation Hall of Fame. Canada's Aviation Hall of Fame, based in the Reynolds-Alberta Museum in Wetaskiwin, Alberta, Canada, commemorates and honours those whose In his honour, the "Casey Baldwin Award" is granted annually by the Canadian Aeronautics and Space Institute to the authors of the best paper published in the Canadian Aeronautics and Space Journal.
He graduated from Ridley College in St. Catharines, Ontario in 1900.
