Origin Of Steam Navigation

Robert Fulton has long been accepted
by the general public as the inventor of
the steamboat, although it has been well
known 20 scientific men that his leading
ideas, which were put into practical APP
plication in the ClermOnt, were by no
means original.
The Augusta Chronicle, Wilmington
Star, and other journals, have been de-
voting some space to the discussion of
the question, who is entitled to the honor
of having first invented the steamboat?
The two journals named have agreed on
James Rumsey, OF Maryland, as the man
t. whom the laurels belong. Rumsey's
first experiments were made in 1874, on
the Potomac, and in 1856 he succeeded in
driving boat at the speed of four miles
per hour, by using pumps and forcing
Jet Of water cut at the stern against the
water in the river. In the same year
John Fitch. Of New York, successfully
propelled a boat on the Delaware, using
the then common form of engine to drive
a series Of paddles, arranged i'll a man.
ner similar 10 oars.
1t is by no means an easy task to de-
termine to whom the origin of steam
navigation is due. 1t is, perhaps, the
patriotic duty of every American to claim
the honor for either Rumsey or Fitch.
Many men have made the subject the
study of years and have ransacked the
musty records Of invention in two cOnti-
nents. Spanish writer's assert that Blasco
de Garay propelled a ship by steam at
Barcelona in 1543. The application Of
steam to navigation was anticipated by
Roger Bacon about the middle of the thir-
teenth century. Experiments are said to
have been made by Papin in 1907 at Cas-
sci. Prussia. 1t is certain that Jonathan
Huils patented a marine engine adapted
to turn a stem paddle wheel by means of
bands in 1876, and William Henry, of
Chester, Pa, tried a model steamboat on
the Conestoga river in 1868, and repeated
experiments we're made by inventors in
Europe and America at subsequent dates,
many of them demonstrating the prac-
ticability of steam navigation.
The honor to which Fulton is entitled
is that Of having so improved on the in
ventions Of others as to make the steam
boat a commercial success. This honor
should not be lightly esteemed, but more
is due to Bacon, who, amid the ignor-
ance and superstition of the middle ages,
conceived the ideas, the utilization OF
which have revolutionized the world. But
each Of the thousands who have devoted
their lives to the subject of steam naYi-
CATION, from the earliest experimenters
down TO the latest designers and builders
of the all but perfect floating palaces of
to-day, should share The hOnOrs which
have been given by too partial friends
aud admirers to Rumsey and Fitch and
Fulton. The names of many of these
men will never appear in history or in
cyclOpedias, but when monument shall
be built to commemorate the life work of
the originatOrs and perfecters OF steam
navigation, at least one tablet should be
placed in it inscribed "TO Unknown &C.
MUS"
