So Robert Fulton had several predecessors in the idea of applying steam to navigationJohn Fitch in 1785, William Symington in 1788 and many others who likewise coasted along the shore and indenture of a great idea, marked by continual failure and final abandonment. It was reserved for Fulton to complete and stamp upon his labor the seal of service and success, and to stand, therefore, its accepted inventor. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
