Robert Fulton invented the steam boat in 1800. He was a colonial American Engineer. He designed the first submarine of the world called "Nautilus".
The first successful submarine ride is generally credited to the American inventor David Bushnell, who launched his submarine, the Turtle, in 1776. However, this event did not occur in the Passaic River; it took place in New York Harbor. The Turtle was designed for underwater warfare but had limited success. The Passaic River is not historically associated with early submarine exploration.

The first submarine, known as the "Turtle," was constructed in 1775 by American inventor David Bushnell. It was made primarily from wood, reinforced with iron, and covered in a layer of leather to improve water resistance. The Turtle was designed for stealthy underwater operations during the American Revolutionary War, specifically to attach explosives to British ships.
