Correct answer: Robert Fulton

Robert Fulton's North River Steamboat (later known as the Clermont) revolutionized water transport by carrying passengers between New York City and Albany. While others had built experimental steamboats before him, Fulton was the first to turn the technology into a viable, profitable business. This breakthrough paved the way for massive trade expansion along America's great interior rivers. Photo: Wikimedia Commons, Public domain.
