Early Steamboat Inventions Through History
The development of steamships traces to Blasco de Garay showing a three mile per hour steamboat in 1548 Barcelona before Charles V. Interest revived in the late 18th century with Marquis de Joffrey’s Saone craft in 1758, Patrick Miller’s 1783 vessel, a larger 1789 model at seven mph, and finally Robert Fulton’s Clermont performing a trial in 1808.
