STEAMBOAT
John Fitch was given his first patent for a Steamboat on August 26, 1791. There was a little battle between John Fitch and James Rumsy because they both had designs that looked the same. John Fitch had made 4 steamboats in between the years of 1785 and 1796. Later Fulton, made the steamboat better. On August 7th 1807 the "Clemont" made a 150 mile journey in 32 hours. Averaging 5 miles per hour.
