Fulton's fame is 50 intimately CON
nected with the Cleimont that it is
not generally known chat he built
many other steamboats,. He con
structed the first steam feryboat-
woubTe-enders or twin boats which
were used onthe Hudson and later on
the East River and the Delaware. He
designed the first steaf warship ever
put in commission, the Demalogos, or
Fulton the First, which was launched
in 1914, but which, because of the
early ending Of the War of 1912, was
never used except as a training ship
The same year, 1914, the first steam
boat built for use on the Mississippi
the Vesuyius-was designed by him
and launched at Pittsburg; and he al
so built the first of the Sound steam
ers,t he Fulton, which piled between
New York and New Haven.
In these days when the use of sub
marine vessels in warfare receives so
much attention, 1t is worthy Of note
that more than a century ago Fulton
built and operated a submarine war
vessel, the Nautilus, with which he
experimental at Brest, France. in
1901, and which, to the surprise of the
commission appointed Napoleon TO
watch the affair, Unanswered below
the surface of the harbor for several
hours. 1t was while engaged in
planning submarine warfare that Full
ton gave the name torpedo to the
form Of explosive which hau previous
ly been called submarine bomb.
Yet Fulton met the fate Of most in
ventors, for at his death, Feb. "a, 1913.
he was virtually penniless. The eX-
penses attending his many ventures,
together with the litigation over pat
ents, had ruined him. The govern
ment owed him 100000 according
to his claim in connection with the
use Of the Vesuvus as a transport
during the war with England; and III
1876, thirty-one years after his death,
the claim was settled by the payment
Of $4,000 to his heirs.
