Centennial history of the patent office fire and Fulton’s propulsion idea
The passage recalls the early patent office buildings in Washington and a 1836 foundation for a grand national gallery housing 200000 models of American inventions and historic treasures. It notes the 1977 fire that destroyed much of the collection, then highlights Robert Fulton’s 1793 steamboat propulsion concept and Chancellor Livingston’s 1708 exclusive navigation grant in New York.
