CHRONOLOGY OF STEAMBOATING, The following chronological exposition of the origin, invention and introduction of the steamboat and steamship is given on the authority of the New York Marine Journal: The first idea of steam navigation was contained in a patent obtained in England by Hulls in 1736. Fitch experimented in steam navigation on the Delaware river in 1783-4. Oliver Evans was the next experimenter in steam navigation in 1785-6. Ramsey was also an experimenter in Virginia in steam navigation in 1787. W. Symington made a trial on the Forth and Clyde with a small and rudely constructed model of a steamer in 1789. Chancellor Livingston built a steamer on the Hudson in 1797. The first experiment in steamboating on the Thames, England, was in 1801. Mr. Symington repeated his experiments on the Thames with success in 1802. Fulton built the steamer the North River and made a passage up the Hudson river to Albany from New York in thirty-three hours -the first steam navigation on record. The engines were constructed by Boulton Watts. The voyage was made in 1807. The first steamer in Ireland was in 1820. Capt. Johnson was paid £10,000, or $50,000. for making the first steam voyage to India The voyage was made on the steamer Enter prise, which sailed from Falmouth, England, Aug. 16, 1825. The Great Western, from Bristol, Eng. both arrived at New York city, each on her land, and the Sirius, from Cork, Ireland, first voyage and each eighteen days out, on June 17, 1838. The first steamer of the Cunard line to ar &rive on American shores was the Britannia, which arrived at Boston, after a passage of fourteen days and eight hours, in July, 1840. The first war steamer was built in England in 1838. The next steamboat was the Car of Neptune, in 1808. Fulton built the Orleans at Pittsburg-the first steamer on western rivers. It was completed and made the voyage to New Orleans, 2,000 miles, in 1811. The Paragon was the next steamer, built in New York in 1811. The Richmond was built in New York in 1812. The first steam vessel of Europe commenced plying on the Clyde in 1812. Returns from twenty-three states gave an aggregate of 700 steamboats in the United States in 1838. There were about 1,500 steam vessels in the United States in 1847. The Washington was the first American ocean steamer of note. She made her first passage to Southampton, England, in June, 1847.
