On February 9, 1811 Robert Fulton received a patent for the steamboat, an invention that revolutionized American transportation and commerce. Fulton’s steamboat the Clermont had already taken its first voyage in 1807, going from New York to Albany and launching the first commercial steamboat service in the world.
