John Fitch is said to have invented the Steamboat but to my knowledge Robert Fulton is most known for inventing it.

The steamboat was invented by John Fitch in the early 1790s.

I'm not sure though but the steam boat is made by John Fitch :)
John Fitch made his first successful Steamboat on August 22, 1787. On August 26, 1791, he was granted the patent for the Steamboat. Robert Fulton, on August 7, 1807, was credited for turning the Steamboat into a success, though.
John Fitch invented the original steamboat, but Robert Fulton is usually credited with the invention of the steamboat, since he was American and brought it to America, while Fitch was British.

In August 1791, John Fitch was granted a patent for a steamboat. There was a dispute over the first design since James Rumsey had a design very similar to that of John Fitch.
I think John Fitch made the steamboat!!!
