FIRST STEAMBOAT | 10 PAYE BERLIN ROAD BUILDER HONORED Mo Pich Reogisel 15 Plooer i This Lise Loulsville, Ky., June 24 (EFS)— One hundred-and forty-two years after he invented, designed, con- structed and operated steamboat, public recognition came for John Fitch in the unveiling of a $15,000 monument at Bardstown, Ky., where he died in 1798. Text books taught that I"ulton was the inventor of the steamboat and the public accepted that teaching. But records could not be disputed were produced, proving “hat the inventive genius of John Fiteh, a licutenant in the Con- tinental army during the Revolu- tionary, war, applied steam to navi- gation in the year 1785, more than 20 years before the Clearmont plied the Hudson as the product of Fulton. Among the records was a drawing of the Fitch boat, advertising trips on the Delaware river from Trenton to Philadelphia. Fiteh, ‘'who gave much to the world and received, in his lifetime, only disappointment and disillusion, was a Connecticut Yankee who came | to Kentycky and adopted that state as bis own. D. A. R.
