State of being filled so as to The American Dictionary and Cyclopedia steamboat, called The Clermont (of 140 feet keel and Ful'ton Station, in Kentucky , a P. O. of Fulton co. 161⁄2 feet beam, see Fig. 1087), made a progre on the Hudson of 5 miles an hour. His second large boat on the Hudson was the Car of Neptune, and was built in 1807. He afterwards built other steam- ve els, one of them a frigate which bore his name. His reputation became established, and his fortune was rap- idly increasing, when his patent for steam-ve els was disputed, and his opponents were in a considerable de- gree succe ful. Though an amiable, social, and liberal man, the anxiety and fretfulne occasioned by the law- suits about his patent rights, together with his enthu- siasm, which led him to expose himself too much while directing his workmen, impaired his constitution, and he died at the early age of 49 in 1815. His death was recognized as a public calamity, and occasioned extra or- dinary demonstrations of national mourning. In 1846 Congre pa ed an Act appropriating $76,300 in full of the claims of F. against the United States for inventing floating steam-batteries, superintending the construction of the steam-frigate Fulton , and for the great benefits conferred on the country by his improvements in the application of steam to navigation.
