A:
Engineer and inventor Robert Fulton Richard Greene comes to New York City in 1807, where he meets tavern and inn keeper Pat ODay Alice Faye. ODay comes to strongly believe in Fulton and his dream after he lodges at her establishment. He pursues the investment capital he needs to build his visionary steampowered ship. ODays longtime suitor, Charles Browne Fred MacMurray, opens his own shipyard to assist the dapper engineer in building his steamboat after Fulton receives initial financial investment from Chancellor Robert L. Livingstone Henry Stephenson. Additional funds are raised by ODay from her business acquaintances. Fulton eventually acquires the remaining funds needed to complete his revolutionary paddle steamer. After a shipwright named Regan Ward Bond has a runin with Fulton, Regan attempts to turn every local deck hand and sailpowered passenger boat operator against the engineer, exploiting their fear of losing their livelihoods to a steampowered vessel. In the end, despite adversity, bad luck, and additional interference from Regan, Fulton is able to complete the steamboat, now named Clermont, at Charles Browns shipyard. She is successfully launched on her first voyage, silencing the local critics and doubters who had previously labeled the venture Fultons Folly.
