1790 Blueprint Fitch Henri Idea Invention Patent Research Steam Steamboat
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1790, providing a glimpse into the innovative minds of John Fitch and Henry Voigt. The patent drawing submitted by these visionary individuals to the New Jersey State patent office showcases their remarkable creation: the Experiment, Fitch's third boat. Measuring an impressive 60 feet in length with a beam of 12 feet, this steam-powered vessel was designed to revolutionize river transportation between Philadelphia and Burlington, New Jersey. With its sleek exterior and meticulous attention to detail evident in this blueprint-like illustration, it is clear that Fitch and Voigt had poured their hearts into bringing their idea to life. As we delve into this piece of American maritime history, we are reminded of the power of human ingenuity. This drawing represents not only an invention but also countless hours of research and dedication put forth by these two brilliant minds. While commercial use may not be mentioned here, one cannot help but imagine how this groundbreaking technology could have transformed river travel if given the opportunity. In our modern world where steamboats are now a thing of the past, this print serves as a reminder that progress is built upon bold ideas like those presented by Fitch and Voigt over two centuries ago.
