Who was Robert Fulton and what did he do related to the Chesapeake Bay?
gpt
Robert Fulton designed and built a steamboat with the financial backing of Robert R. Livingston. The Clermont, the ship that Fulton designed and built, made its first successful run from New York City to Albany, New York on August 17, 1807. Because the terrain of New York was very hilly, traveling by steamship was much faster than traveling overland. Fulton was running steamboat services on the Chesapeake Bay and six major rivers within five years.
