Beautiful documentary! I have been fascinated with steamships recently and wanted to learn more about the first successful one. I've been reading about the "Clermont"/ "North River" lately and even just bought a model of it. (Wish me luck!) It sounds like Robert Fulton was definitely talented.
This short video is very very good! I just discovered that he is my 2nd cousin 6x removed so I have been doing a great deal of reading and thus far your video is great. Especially considering when he went to France and 'took up' with the Barlows!
+Diane Dinnigan Thank you so much for the comment. His relationship with the Barlows as well as Lord Courtney and crew wasn't something they taught us in school. I've learned so much even since completing the video and have a great deal of respect for the man and his accomplishments.
Thank you for this video it helped me do a project that I needed to do for one of my classes in school! :)
