Robert Fulton (November 14, 1765 – February 24, 1815) was an American engineer and inventor who is usually credited with constructing the North River Steamboat, the world's first commercially successful steamboat (also known as Clermont). In 1807, that steamboat carried passengers on the Hudson River from New York City to Albany and back, a round voyage of 300 miles (480 km) in 62 hours. His steamboat's success altered river traffic and trade on key American rivers.
