In 1807, the cost of a steamboat varied significantly, but a typical steamboat could range from $20,000 to $40,000. The first successful steamboat, the Clermont, built by Robert Fulton, is often cited as costing around $50,000. The price reflected the advanced technology and materials required for construction at the time.
