Robert Fulton was born on a farm in Little Britain, Pennsylvania, on November 14, 1765. He had three sisters â Isabella, Elizabeth, and Mary, and a younger brother, Abraham. Fulton's father, Robert, had been a close friend to the father of painter Benjamin West. Fulton later met West in England and they became friends.
Upon returning to the US, Fulton went back to work on his idea for the steamboat invention. He took a special English steam engine, made some improvements to it, and tested models to develop the ideal shape. Ultimately, Fulton's ship, the Clermont, made its debut in 1807 â steaming upriver from New York to Albany. After obtaining his patent in 1809, Robert Fulton was soon running steamboat services on six major rivers and the Chesapeake Bay.
