Best Answer

The history of the steam engine stretches back as far as the first century AD; the first recorded rudimentary steam engine being the aeolipile described by Hero of Alexandria.
However, the first practical steam-powered 'engine' was a water pump, developed in 1698 by Thomas Savery.

John Fitch was one of the American inventors who worked on the problem of driving a boat with steam, but it was Robert Fulton who succeeded in inventing the first steamboat, called the Clermont. Which traveled up the Hudson River in 1807.

In 1787, John Fitch built the first recorded steam-powered boat in the United States.

Robert Fulton was the first to operate steamboats commercially.

But, in France in 1774 Marquis Claude de Jouffroy and his colleagues had made a 13-metre (42 ft 8 in) working steamboat with rotating paddles, the Palmipède. The ship sailed on the Doubs River in June and July 1776, apparently the first steamship to sail successfully.

Robert Fulton developed the world's first successful steamboat service. His steamboat, the Clermont, began its maiden voyage on August 17, 1807, from its mooring at the East River off Greenwich Village. Twenty-four hours later he arrived at Robert Livingston's manor house, 110-miles up the Hudson.
