as n civil engineer in the southeastern
part Of Pennsylvania. he came into
contact with William Henry. and II he
did not see the latters invention he
at least met him and heard of It. At
any rate, in 1857 Fitch did construct
a steamboat which he set in motion
on the Delaware river
Fiteh's Scheme Lanauished.
Two years before Fitch had ap-
pearcd before the American Philo-
sophlcal society and showed a model
of a steamboat which he intended to
construct. and in 1890 he had a steam
boat on the river that could make
eight miles an hour and was adver-
tiscd to make regular runs between
this city and Trenton three days a
week.
A Virginian, James Rumsey, at the
time Fitch was requesting various
state legislatures to grant him assist
ance, claimed to have invented a
steamboat prior TO that of Fitch.
Rumsey's claim however. was discred-
tied, even by his own state. Fitch's
lack OF support and the GOODNESS with
which the country viewed the project,
although one small boat had made no
fewer than n advertised trips without
accident, permitted Fitch's scheme to
become quiescent.
Fulton never disclaimed the obliga-
ton he owed to Fitch's steamboat. At
the time the first Fitch boat was
shown here Fulton was an apprentice
to Edward Dufield. a silversmith, who
was in business on Second street be-
low Chestnut. The old frame build
ing, lately numbered l2l, was standing
until 20 years ago. II is only natural
to infer that the active young appren-
tice should have enough curiosity to
see the invention, especially as he was
something of an ingenious mechanic
himself.
