What was Clermont?

a steamboat designed by Robert Fulton.


Fulton's steamboat was called Fulton's Folly?

Correct."Fulton's Folly," the Clermont, was a steamboat.


Where did the Clermont steamship get its name?

you don't know there is know anser! Clermont is the popular name of the famous North River Steamboat engineered by Robert Fulton in 1807. The North River Steamboat was the first commercially successful regularly scheduled steamer. The irony is that neither Fulton nor the paddle steamer's operators ever seem to have called the boat Clermont, nor is it at all clear where the name came from. There is today no town on the upper Hudson River called Clermont. Perhaps there was in 1807, and someone mistakenly thought the steamboat was named for the town.


When and where did Robert Fulton invent the steamboat?

In 1807, Fulton (with help) built the first commercial steamboat, the North RiverSteamboat (later known as the Clermont), which carried passengers between NewYork City and Albany, New York. He didn't invent the steamboat, his was just thefirst commercial steamboat


What kind of impact did Robert Fulton's invention have on society?

you could transport goods faster and easier. cities with large rivers like New York became bigger because they could get the most. Fulton did not invent the steamboat, he and his business partner Robert Livingston (from Clermont, NY) had the first commercially successful steamboat. (John Fitch of Philadelphia created the first steam powered boat in 1787.) More research needed:... the "Clermont" boat was named by residents of Clermont, NY after the death of Fulton. Fulton called the boat "North River Steamboat"
