Uolumbus, Ohio, March 4.—The
original working model of the first
sAeamboat ever Invented, is among
the thousands of curios in possession
of the Ohio State Archaeological and
Historical Society’s museum here.
Contrary to popular impression this
invention is not the work of Robert
Fulton, but that of John Fitch. Mr.
Fitch’s steam engine, according to
authoritative „ information in the
the -hands of William C. Mills, cu-
rator of the society, was operated:
in a steamboat successfully twenty-
one years before that of Fulton’s
“Clermont” steamed' its way up the
Hudson.
Fitchs model, invented in 1786, has
been in Ohio since 1803, but only
recently was turned over to the so-
ciety by A. N. Whiting, of Columbus,
great grandson of the inventor.
The engine is three ‘feet in length,
having the solid wheels and upright
Cylinder of steam engines of -the
present day. The machine, made of
brass, seems designed to rpn upon
submerged track. Machinists who
have examined it declare it contains
the embryonic principles which have
been reproduced in every steam-
boat.
Like most noted inventors of the
early history of the United States,
Fitch’s work was unappreciated.
