He is credited with inventing the steamboat.
1807
the first steamboat.
yes
yes he did but it wasnt his idea hes the one who made it succsessfull!
John Fitch was first thought up and make it but Robert Fulton redesigned it and made it more popular
Fulton's steamboat was built on the East River at the ship yards of Charles Brownne. After disappointments and delays, Fulton left New York on his steamboat for Albany on August 17, 1807. He made the trip in thirty-two hours and successfully demonstrated to the world the possibilities of steam navigation.
Robert Fulton is best known for developing the first commercially successful steamboat, the Clermont, which he launched in 1807. This marked a significant advancement in transportation, allowing for efficient travel and trade along waterways. The Clermont made its maiden voyage from New York City to Albany, establishing the viability of steamboat travel.
becuz it was better for docking near the coastal area known as 'land' LOL XD SEE YAL LATER LOL ;D <3
A submarine. When Fulton first told Napoleon about his idea of an under water boat, Napoleon told him: "What, sir, would make a ship sail against the wind and currents by lighting a bonfire under her deck I pray you excuse me. I have no time to listen to such nonsense."
Fulton designed the first commercially feasible steamboat, the Clermont, and also designed the submarine, Nautilus. Although sometimes credited with the invention of the steamboat, he didn't actually invent either technology; rather he came up with ways to improve and make them more efficient and dependable.
I'm assuming you're talking about Robert Fulton, who did not actually invent, but played a key role in the invention of the steamboat. In 1804 he also tested the first successful submarine that he had built for the British navy.
Such predictions are impossible to make.
