EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts Robert Fulton, the visionary American inventor, during his groundbreaking years in Paris from 1797 to 1806. Fulton is best known for his pioneering work on the development of the submarine, a remarkable invention that would revolutionize underwater transportation. Born in 1765, Fulton had a deep fascination with the potential of underwater exploration and transportation. In the late 18th century, he embarked on a journey to Europe, seeking the support and resources necessary to bring his ideas to life. He arrived in Paris during a time of great political and social upheaval, as the French Revolution was in full swing. Despite the turmoil, Fulton remained focused on his work. He spent countless hours in his workshop, experimenting with various designs and materials. In 1797, he finally succeeded in building a functional submarine, which he named the Nautilus. The Nautilus was a remarkable invention, capable of submerging and surfacing at will. Fulton was hopeful that his invention would capture the interest of Napoleon Bonaparte, who was then consolidating his power as the ruler of France. He believed that the submarine could be used for military purposes, such as transporting troops and supplies across rivers and harbors. However, despite his best efforts, Fulton was unable to secure Napoleon's support. Despite this setback, Fulton remained undeterred. He continued to refine his designs and eventually found success in other areas, most notably with the development of the steam-powered boat, which would go on to revolutionize transportation on the world's rivers and waterways. This photograph, taken circa 1800, captures Fulton in the midst of his Parisian sojourn, a determined inventor on the cusp of greatness, whose groundbreaking work would forever change the way we navigate the world's waters.
