The Invention of the Steamboat

The Invention OF tne SteubpO'tt'
Robert Fulton's ClermOnt, the first
steamboat of any practical value, was
launched into the East river. 1t is not
known who first conceived the idea OF
propelling boats by steam; probably
Solomon de Caus, in 1918. Many per-
sons experimental with steam propul-
sion between 1868, when William Hen
ny Of Pennsylvania placed small boat
on the Conestoga river, and 1907. when
the Clermont made its trip to Albany.
Among them were the Marquis de
Jonnroy, James Rumsey and John
Fitch. These men produced models
which were worthy of the name steam
boat, but the Clermont was the first
steam vessel produced which actually
carried passengers and freight, and Rob-
ert Fulton is fairly entitled to the cred
it of inyenting the steamboat.
