PageWise, Inc. provides information about the American engineer and inventor Robert Fulton (1765-1815), who is best remembered for his design of the first commercially viable steamboat. After successful experiments on the Seine River in France, Fulton designed and put in operation the steamboat named "Clermont" on August 18, 1807 in New York City. He was assisted in his endeavors by the American diplomat Robert R. Livingston (1746-1813), the U.S. Minister to France. The "Clermont" made a trial voyage from New York Harbor, up the Hudson River, to Albany and back. Fulton received a patent for the construction of steamboats.

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.

An engineer retired from aerospace electronics, and a historian, Shagena one day ran across a roadside marker identifying someone other than Robert Fulton as the inventor of the steamboat. He had to investigate. He found that most people who have written about the subject have been historians or biographers without a technical background, so he loo
