The boat runs successfully on the Hudson River in New York. Fulton erroneously receives historic credit for inventing the steamboat. 1811 ­ Robert Fulton and his partners build “The New Orleans”, the first steamboat to travel on the Ohio River. The boat miraculously reaches New Orleans, Louisiana, and proves that river travel by steam is possible and profitable. 1820­1880 ­ Thousands of shallow­draft steam­powered packet (freight) boats and towboats are built and put into service on America's inland waterways. Nearly 75% of the boats are from shipyards along the Ohio River. 1900­1930 1914 ­ The Idlewild is christened on October 18th at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She first serves as a ferry between Memphis, Tennessee, and West Memphis, Arkansas, while a bridge is being built.
