Fulton's Folly
Correct. "Fulton's Folly," the Clermont, was a steamboat.
Many people were not used to the "peculiar" design in Fulton's day. In factis was described as looking precisely like "looking precisely like backwoods saw-mill mounted on a boat and set on fire."
He made the steam boat because the united states was under atack and he wanted every one to get to safety....
Its important because so we could go to the ilands and just not always walk everywere .
