Before Robert Fulton's experiments were begun, a number of inventors on both sides of the Atlantic were engaged in the work, and that some progress had been made; so much, in fact, that the outcome could hardly be doubted. Papin had, early in the eighteenth century, as we have seen, actually built a steamboat; Jonathan Hulls, in 1737, secured British patents on another form; William Henry had put his little boat on the Conastoga River in 1763; the Comte d'Auxiron had launched a steamer on French waters in 1774.
