The first successful steamboat, designed by Robert Fulton, was the Clermont, launched in 1807. The cost to build the Clermont was approximately $200,000 at that time, which is equivalent to several million dollars today when adjusted for inflation. The steamboat significantly transformed transportation on America's rivers, paving the way for the expansion of trade and travel.
