No It was the first boat with English settlers to sail to America
he would sail the Hudson river in new York then into the Erie canal, then onto Lake Erie, then just go straight to Cleveland
Yes. You can do it, using the New York State Canal System which connects the Great Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean. You can also go through the Welland Canal to Lake Ontario, then on up the Saint Lawrence Seaway to reach the Atlantic.
yes. One would sail from Lake Huron, through Lake St. Clair, past Detroit and into Lake Erie. After sailing the length of Lake Erie, one would turn left at Buffalo and use the Welland Canal to go around Niagara Falls to Lake Ontario. Sailing northeast to Oswego, New York one can enter the New York State Canal System. A sail boat, however, must be un-masted and motor the canal system. The canals go from Oswego to Albany and the Mohawk River and to Troy and the Hudson River. Once on the Hudson, the sailboat could be re-masted. From there, one would sail south on Hudson River to New York City, exit the harbor, and turn south to Florida. This shortcut through New York saves a "boat load" of time. If you remember, this was the whole point of the "Erie Canal". Otherwise, once on Lake Ontario, the boat would have to sail the length of the St. Lawrence seaway, around New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Maine. That's a lot of sailing.

Sailing has been around since prehistoric times, therefore the name of the person who made the first sail boat is not recorded.
Via the Panama Canal would shave some time off of the normal route, around the Horn.
I had trouble with this too, but it's pretty simple. He would sail the Hudson River in New York, then into the Erie Canal, then on to Lake Erie, then just go straight to Cleveland. See? Simple.
