Robert Fulton invented the first practical steamboat, known as the Clermont, which successfully navigated the waters of the Hudson River in 1807. This innovation demonstrated the viability of steam-powered vessels for commercial transportation, revolutionizing travel and trade on rivers and later on oceans. Fulton's work helped pave the way for the widespread use of steam power in transportation.
