This was in September, 1807.
The fool and the fool's fire-ship became the butt of all sensiblepeople in Europe as well as in America. Victor Hugo remarks that, "Inthe year 1807, when the first steamboat of Fulton, commanded byLivingston, furnished with one of Watts's engines sent from England, and manoeuvred, besides her ordinary crew, by two Frenchmen only, Andr Michaux and another, made her first voyage from New York toAlbany, it happened that she set sail on the 17th of August. Theministers ...took up this important fact, and in numberless chapelspreachers were heard calling down a malediction on the machine, anddeclaring that this number seventeen was no other than the total ofthe ten horns and seven heads of the beasts in the Apocalypse. InAmerica they invoked against the steamboat the beast from the book ofRevelation; in Europe, the reptile of the book of Genesis. The SAVANShad rejected steamboats as impossible; the PRIESTS had anathematizedthem as impious; SCIENCE had condemned, and RELIGION consigned them toperdition.
