Robert Fulton was the first person to build and operate a successful steam-powered boat for commercial use. Highlighting Fulton's struggles to become a respected inventor and his early work as an artist, this book shows how Fulton's most memorable achievements came as a result of his using his talents to improve upon and perfect the ideas and inventions of others. It also examines Fulton's lesser-known innovations, including his work on perfecting the submarine as a weapon of war.

From the time he was young, Robert Fulton liked to work with his hands. For a while he thought he wanted to be an artist, but it was hard to make a living as a painter. Fulton turned to inventing things, including a very early version of the submarine. He is most famous for building the first practical steamboat. Others had tried and failed, but his North River Steam Boat was successful. It sailed regularly between New York City and Albany, the capital of New York. The success of the North River Steam Boat inspired Fulton to build other steamboats, improving commerce for the nation and the world.
