Fulton+Biography

Robert Fulton biography

When he was little he loved to paint and as he got older he went to Paris to learn but it didn’t end up good so he made a design of a submarine and it made Robert Livingston notice him and he asked Fulton to go back to America so he could make a design of a steam boat. His 1st boat was called the new Orleans and it failed but he put another engine on it and a pattle wheel and it made it work better. The thing he did most was put a flat bottom on the boats so they could navigate the inland rivers.
