About the Ship's Name:
Robert Fulton, born in Little Britain, Pa., in 1765, had a distinguished career as a painter before patenting his first invention, a double inclined plane to replace locks in canals, in England in 1794. His numerous ingenious and influential inventions included a prototype submarine, NAUTILUS, amphibious boats, and the first commercially successful steamboat, CLERMONT. In 1814 and 1815, he built the first war steamer, known both as FULTON and DEMOLOGOS. He died in New York City 24 February 1815.
