The first successful steamboat was developed by Robert Fulton and launched in 1807. This vessel, named the Clermont, traveled the Hudson River, demonstrating the viability of steam-powered transportation. However, earlier concepts and prototypes existed, with notable attempts by inventors like John Fitch in the late 18th century.
