1t is strange to consider that the discovery of
the means of steamboat navigation is only Just
passing from what may be called the present to
the historical stage. When living people talk
OF their own experiences on the first trip ever
made by q steamboat. the facts seem too recent
to be called history. A new life in navigation
opened up all at once by the invention OF Robert
Fulton. and the sailing boat business. which at
the time was carried on by 206 sloops running
regularly, was doomed to cease altogether.
The first trip made by the Clermo was
about the middle OF August. 1907. The Gazette,
makes the following simple mention of a feat,
the success of which revdutionized navigation;
and that Is the only record that search In the
old Albany newspapers reveals: " Mr.. Fulton's
street dock for Albany. She is to make her
passage in thirty-six hours from the time OF her
departure. touching at New burgh. Poughkeep-
sic. ESopus. and Hudson on the way. Tho steam

York. with about forty ladies. and gentlemen"
On Oct. . the same paper said: Mr.. Fulton's
newly invented steam boat, which Is fitted up In
run from New York to Albany as a packet, left
here this morning with, ninety passengers.
