Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the life of Robert Fulton and his pivotal role in the development of steam navigation. While living in France, Fulton, an American inventor, concentrated on developing his ideas for both canals and the torpedo, a weapon he envisioned as a path to world peace. His device, later to be known as a torpedo boat, was initially met with skepticism but gradually gained traction. The author draws on letters and Fulton's original drawings to highlight the inventor's ingenuity, resilience, and determination in overcoming technical challenges. The book delves into the historical context of Fulton's era, exploring the political and scientific landscape that both inspired and hindered his ambitions. Through the author's engaging prose, readers gain insights into Fulton's unwavering pursuit of innovation, his belief in progress, and the enduring impact of his contributions to the field of transportation.
